everything will swap over if you plan to swap everything.


if you want to make it easier on yourself, you can leave the dash / body harness in the 4 banger and just buy an engine harness from an `89 so it will plug in.


the headlight harness needs to be swapped from a 5.0 for the alternator wiring, but the taillight harness does not need to be changed.


you can click the link in my sig and check out the cardomain site for my 89 coupe to see some of the things I swapped for my conversion.

Also. If you are going to get legal smogs an older engine in a newer car wont pass.
