yea it's 100% illegal to swap VIN plates.

The engine/tranny swap can be done quite easily. You'll need to use the sensors and computers off the 95 with the 98 engine/transmission. Also use the 95's injectors and fuel rail, exhaust, and intake. Am I missing anything?

and your point?

Talk of illegal activities including VIN swapping and removal of emissions equipment is prohibited in the forum rules. End of discussion.

Pretty much got it covered. Anything else that MAY need to be done will be obvious and easy.
