Ok just got my new engine in after many probs along the way with the manual conversion. Got everything hooked up and the manual gear all in place. Put the finishing touches on her and hook the battery up and the fuel pump relay near the drivers side tems unit start buzzing and the dash all lights up and weird like. This is with the key turned off (nothin happens when i turn the key on). And then a electrical burning smell. I have traced all wiring back that i can think of. Even under the ignition side of the dash, ecu behind the glove box, main earth for dash in centre console, and around starter area and still can't find anything!! I have also pluged in the postioner for the auto. Any ideas of what it could be?

I think you crossed the wrong wires...I did a 5spd swap in my 89 (turbo auto->5spd) and the 5spd was from an 87 but it didn't do any smoking or anything. The only downside is the overdrive light flashes...so I've gotta pull the bulb out.

Well i haven't added any new wiring. I've used the same abs sensor and wiring, and the speedo isn't hooked up. And the shifting locater from the auto is sitting aside in Park position (thats what lets the fuel pump engage).
