Early 89 nonturbo swap into 90 turbo

[jd20phill]

My 90 turbo is finally to the point where it runs great, but the body does not seem to match the engine. It rattles, has multiple dents in it (damn previous owner :icon_evil ), and is going to cost a lot of money just to get prepped for paint. Today i found an 89 non turbo with no engine and an extremely straight, solid body (dirt cheap too), the only problem is that it is an early 89 (made in november of 88). From what i have read, the body harness connectors will not mate up with my 90 ecu. If this is the case, would i be able to change out the 89 body harness with my 90 one and would it really be worth the hassle?

You need to swap over your engine harness as well. It's not difficult, its just tedious. Dr Jonez has a writeup of this i think...

Thanks for the reply, but i know i have to swap over the engine harness, engine, transmission, all turbo parts, differential (though the 4.30 would be fun :naughty: ), tach, etc.,etc.,etc. What i want to know is will the body harness work in this shell of a car, or will i have to swap over every little bit of wiring from my 90.
