Engine Shake and Low idle

I'll have to take a pic tomorrow it's dark out right now and it's parked at my grandparents. I do know that when looked up in repair manuals that 93-94 are seperate from the 95+ engines. Not sure why. I was kinda wanting to do an engine swap cause I have a buddy with a 2.3 94' engine with low miles. But I don't think it will happen. Plus I don't want to fool with doing it.
And yeah. 4cyl. (2.3L) 4x4

Suspected this was a possibility. Was afraid to think about it to much. I pulled the timing belt cover off and the timing belt is cracky and real loose. If it hasn't jumped time I do know it needs replaced. But I have no clue how to mark my place and put one on without really getting it out of time.

i've had the same problem since my engine swap... (2.3)
anything below 1000 rpm, it shakes the whole truck
not much, but enough to be annoying.
i've got a hunch it is the timing belt.....i may have put it on one tooth behind
if i turn the distributor to advance the timing....it smooths out noticeably but idles at 1000 with the idle screw all the way out

Generally, aside from gunk/ carbon build up, it's going to be lack of either fuel or air getting to the cylinders. Change the fuel filter, clean/ change the air filter. You could try seafoam or the like to try and clean things up a bit, but it just sounds like it's dirty.
