This is my first engine swap. So I need to know if I use a 3100 engine from a 2000 malibu to swap out my 1998 3100 engine are the mounts the same and what not? the intake crossovers are different, does that matter? any help please.........

My 3100 out of my 1998 is eating 2 qts of oil every 2500 miles, so it my believe the rings and pretty bad cause it isn't leaking, plus i got the 2000 3100 engine for really inexpensive with 45xxx miles

it may have been easier to just sell the car and buy a newer one
