jimoshel Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 For a quick an cheap swap, just change the sensors. Sit the 2 engines side by side and swap everything that's different from the '90 to the '91. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codymanche Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 But are the sensors plug and go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 If you mean will they fit in the holes, yes. Keep the sensors with the ECU you're using. How hard would it be for you to unscrew one and see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewfieMJ Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I'd just swap the 90 intake manifold , be happy it had a fresh gasket and no issue with it being a plug and play , assuming the distributor pick-up plug-in is the same . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cody4359 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 if you take the wiring from the HO motor and swap it with the renix one then yes it is plug and play, but then you will have lots of little odds and ends like making the pig tail for the front HO harness to the rear renix harness, then you have the issue of your fuel guage not reading correct or accurate. alson on mine i swapped steering colums so i caould have tilt and cruise control. i started this swap last october thinking i would have it done in a week or 2, now i have been lazy and busy with work but it finally runs. a concrete floor would have made me more willing to work on it but its definatley a bigger project than i thought. can it be done-yes. but i should have waitied cause i just cound a 88 with 99 drivetrain, interior, doors etc for $4200, and its lifted with 33s......... ps, i also went from a 2wd, 4 cylinder to 4x4 4.0 so maybe that was a bit more work.
