Sure it can, as long as the same engine was removed.

So if it was any body of a 325i 89 the engine could have just been placed in it. Would this procedure cost a lot of money?

A swap of the same engine averages around $1,000, depending on your location and who does it.

So knowing the car and what it is worth would doing this procedure lose money or be a worthy transaction?
