will a 1997 CRV motor & automatic trans bolt right into a 1999 CRV?
I have a 1999 CRV w/auto trans 290K miles that has a bad motor.. I came across a 1997 CRV that runs/drives well but rotted out bad and has 100K miles less than the 1999. Will the motor/trans from the 1997 go right into the 1999? I know the 1997 has less HP but i am not concerned about that, I am looking for a quick swap to get the 1999 back up and running!
If not a direct swap, what would I need to switch out to do the swap?

Should be direct swap as long as both are the same trans. i.e manual > manual or auto > auto. Both are gen 1. 99 is technically a gen 1.5 but only because of the HP increase. Both are B series motors.

I noticed intakes etc are different. Will intake/sensors etc from 1997 go right into the 1999? thanks much for the help, I do not have the 1997 yet so I cant compare!

If I put a low compression motor with the high compression intake/injectors etc, will she run ok and not throw any codes?
