Can I put a 93 caddy engine 4.9 fwd? Into a 97 eldorado that has a northstar engine?

Not saying it is impossible, but pretty close, You are going from OBDII to OBDI and since the northstar became the standard engine, you would most likely have a lot of fabrication.

Not to mention ALL the wiring would have to be switched.
