Well the engine “coughed” flames and he blew my head gasket as well as put one of my spark plugs...

The one I wrecked was a 1997 5.2l auto/4x4, and the donor is a 1999 3.9l auto 4x4...I have everything pulled out of the original already and was wondering if anyone has done this before? I know the mounts are the same and I have all...
