Hey guys.... heres the deal..... My father has a 1985 GT with the CFI engine in it. I have a 1990 LX 5.0..... Is it possible for a shop to drop my engine into his car? What else needs to be changed out other than the engines???? Let me know what this job entails... any info would be great!... Thanks

as far as i remember, it would have taken me the new engine, all fuel system (pump is different and such), ECU, sensors, you need a new xmember for dual exhaust, lots of fabrication for all the excess wires going in, uh... i might be missing some things but im bumpin ya anyway
