84 eta swap into 87?

[Haystack]

The motor I'm putting into my 87e 5spd is coming from an 84e auto. I know some of the plugs are different, but what else am I getting myself into? I don't know MUCH about wiring, but I've got the time to learn.

Or just point me in the right direction.

I know the harness will be different. round plug vs square, although from what I've been seeing around is they're pretty much plug and play. i'm doin a 2.7i build so i'm about to get myself into it so I cant really say much

The engine harness to body harness connection is the only difference.

Just re-use the engine harness from the 87 and you're good to go.
