what motor are you looking at and what 2011 vehicle is it going into. Motors can be swapped in and out of many different vehicles it depends on your fabrication skills and how much time and money you want to put into it. Let us know what you are swapping and we can help a lot better.

Here's what you'll need to do:
Now take all of that knowledge and use it to:
See? It's really not a big job.
- Get a degree in electrical engineering.
- Get a degree in computer science.
- Get a degree in mechanical engineering.
- Learn to use a lathe and other machining tools.
- Learn to use a CAD program.
- Learn to use a 3D printer with your CAD program.
Now take all of that knowledge and use it to:
- Reverse engineer the electronic engine control systems of the 2011 vehicle.
- Create working sensors & controllers for the 94 motor that will work with the electronics of the 2011 vehicle.
See? It's really not a big job.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume he meant 2001 and not 2011. 1994 swapped to a 2001 is very doable, 1994 to 2011 just forget about it.

Well, I'm guessing we'll never know, since he didn't bother to give any useful information in his first post, and hasn't shown any sign of being interested in the responses.
It never ceases to amaze me how lazy people can be about asking a question. It's as if everybody is required to be a mind reader and is obligated to understand what is being asked given just a tiny hint.
