89-91/95 swap help


Recommended Posts

What exactly are you wanting to do? The blocks are the same, it's just the intake and exhaust manifold that is different. If you are just looking to put the motor in to get it going swap the old intake and exhaust manifold from the old one. If your wanting to use the new exhaust and intake I believe you would have to change the Wiring the exhaust down pipe and computer as well. Someone else can correct me if I'm incorrect.

You will need a complete HO engine wiring harness, PDC and computer, including bracket, which will have to be matched to the 1989 dash harness, which is a lot of work. It is not plug and play. Been there. Just went through trying to splice an HO engine harness to a non HO dash harness, It is a major project. All the HO sensors, and plugs are different. It can be done but as jdog said a block swap would be easier.
