search is the best tool to use but for real modify your stock harness to work, get a obd2 to obd1 jumper harness and get your ecu chipped and programmed with the right maps and your good to go

I am sure that alot of people may disagree with me but a motor is a motor and all have the same stuff inj pulse crank\cam signals, map sensor tps, iat, iac ect. ect. ect. so the only diffrence between obd2 and obd1 is a second 02 sensor and that the ob2 computer now realys on 02 data to adjust a\f ratio but if you use a p72 on it and wire it up just like a obd1 swap you wont have any problems the most that will happen is you might not get the right fuel map for that motor but a c5 fuel map cant be that much diffrent from a c1 but if your going that far then hondata should be in your future and then you can get it tuned to put out more hp then even the stock c5. but thats up to you if you want to run obd2 and deal with all the problems with the mil. if you even change the fuel pressure on a obd2 it will throw a mil. so good luck with your swap how ever you go about it

the best way is to convert your ob2 to ob1 and use the p72 ecu and get it programmed and you can always use hasport motor mounts to even get more hp to the wheels


i help my friend did this swap before and works fine.

Good luck with the swap and post pictures and let me know how it went.
