The best thing is to replace it with the same series engine. Other than that, you have to switch out harnesses and such. Seriously, though, this is one of the most covered topics on the board. You should be able to search for "swap" and come up at least a few on the first page or two. I think it might even be in the faqs.

If you have blown engine i would say rebuild n port the **** out of it. Otherwise you can do a TII swap which is a 13BT. Non turbo is a 13B. read teh FAQ
