My brother (lucky soul that he is) owns both a 1995 9000 Aero and a 1992
probably not do-able. The '92 has the old slant block design from the
900 and the '95 has the straight block designed for transverse installations (NG900, 9k, 9^5, 9^3). The '95 has tranny drain plug and the '92 does not. A rebuilt tranny would be the best suggestion I could make. The Aero is one GREAT car and nothing like it is made anymore. I would think it would be worth the effort and money to get it back on the road if it is in nice shape. Where are the cars located? As for the '92, a blown engine? If it is just a head gasket, it may be the least expensive to put back in order. I may be interested in one or both.KeithG

Depends.. If the '92 is a long block 2.3 or 2.0 - it is probably not very straight forward.
My understanding is that the post '94 5 speed transmissions are *not* a direct bolt up to most previous years - but - I could very well be wrong. You are on the right trail regarding keeping the year and model engine in the 1995 - as it is nearly impossible to change engines across model versions without major electrical surgery.
Most folks in your brothers spot simply look for a rear-ended wreak that will match-up VIN wise - grab the whole power train from the hubs in and keep the old engine as a spare for later.

You're absolutely right.
Cheers!
Gentlemen, Thanks for the insights on this project. I will relay your collective wisdom to the man at the sharp end of the stick.
