It will fit. But everything is different. Your car has a 6 bolt motor. that is a seven bolt motor. A lot of things are different. You can do it. It is not recommended.

Not that there is anything wrong with seven bolts, just that there is reverse wiring, motor mounts and other ordeals to worry about.

Save yourself too much effort. Sit down and see what is bad and what is salvageable. Then do some research and see what you need to do to get back on the road. So find out what needs fixed first.
