I want to put an OBD2 LS motor into my OBD1 LS car HELP!
i have no choice but to get this OBD2 b18B ls motor that comes with all the accessories. So will this be an issue going into my OBD1 LS car? I have a OBD1 LS harness to use. OR will i need to get the OBD2 LS harness? How can i make this swap work? Can i still use my OBD1 LS ecu? Will the be a legal swap as far as ref is concerned? Ive tried searching... sorry. TIA

Assuming you have an LS motor now you will have to swap the intake manifold with everything attached (fuel rail, injectors, t.b. sensors etc.), exhaust manifold, and all the accessories to the new motor. You can retain your factory ECU and you shouldn't have to ref the motor because it is a direct swap and should pass emissions fine.

^ That's what I get to do this weekend. My 92 RS with 214,000 on the clock spun a barring,
a week ago. i got a 95 B18b with 80k on it for $500.

No..
All you need to change to the new motor from the old include,
Injectors, Alternator, and Distributor.
