You may need to test the alternator. If it is damaged it can put strain on the battery. If a diode is bad in the alternator it likely isnt providing the needed power to charge the battery and run the electronics too.
being that you have a complete donor car the swap would be easy enough, one thing to keep in mind is the fuel management system and ECM will be different between the two. you may want to research the swap before you dive into it. it most likely will be cheaper to find a low millage motor at a wrecking yard that the same displacement and generation.
betting fuel pump failure....check fuses first new fuel filter wouldnt hurt.....may also be an exhaust plugged catalytic converter......but i say fuel pump....
vehicle shuts down while driving down road and does not start backup for at least 20 minutes, could be a bad crank sensor. if bad it will start and run fine, but it will keep shutting down until fixed.
The most obvious fix is a tune-up..which would include spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter, pcv valve. Other potential problems are coking around throttle plate, vacuum leaks, Timing, water in fuel, clogged exhaust?
Check distributor and fuel, when car dies check for what is missing when it won't start back up. It can be only gas or spark and trust me one is missing. Good Luck
