hassport makes mounts, and just get the dizzy, alternator, and ecu for your year, and it should work.

Do you have a hydro tranny? Your other issues should be the dizzy, injectors, and alternator. I think everything else bolts up fine.

Everything else will bolt up fine.... Just as everyone else stated, get a Dizzy, Injectors, and Alternator... Make sure you have a Hydro Tranny or you will have to buy a hydro tranny for it or buy a hydro to cable conversion kit.

You can get your ECU chiped to run it. I have a B18 swap in mine, and I am running my stock ECU still and it's not chipped. That's because all my sensors are the same as my stock engine.

the pr3 is for an obd0, you need an obd1 ecu.. You could do a chipped p06, but it would probably be better to just get a chipped p28.

it would be way too much hassle then you would have to worry about the wiring and all.. you would have to change a lot more than just the ecu wires because everything connects together...

allright well the engine is in... but it leans forward and is a little **** eyed... does the drivers side mount mount, as in whats between the engine n the engine mount (that mounts to the mount to the frame... god that was too much work to explane..) does the drivers side mount mount need to changed? i beleive that might be the problem seeing as how the mount is only held in by one bolt... and as for the harness... anyone have the colour to colour codes handy? for obd1-obd0... i didnt listen to the thread, i thought i had it under control, cept every wiring chart i found on the internet had different wire to wire patterns...
