I just got an 87 turbo motor with a bad knock. want to put it on my 89. do I got to swap the intake manifold? also and how much of the wiring is the same. I have the computer and most of the wiring harness for the 87 as well as a spare 5 speed tranny. any issues that anyone could warn me about would be helpful. thanks
