swapping an 88 motor into an 86

i have both computers and motors. i want to run the motor out of the 88 along with the computer and put them into the 86. my question is do will the computer and harness from the 88 swap right into the other harnesses that i need in the car? what pins for the ride control and premium switch can be removed? whats my best best here?

If you search la3 you'll find all the wires that need to be repinned. I found about 5 threads on it when I did my swap in my 85.

It's probably a lot easier to just repin as Justin suggests and add the 2 wires to deal with the ACT sensor that the 86 did not have. You don't HAVE to use it.

can anyone give me a link to this? i really wanted to use the my 86 computer in my dads 84.

You still can...we just told you where to find how to do the computer swap...

thanks for the link man. im working on a small budget so i want to use what i have. im happy the motor is almost ready to put in and the all i the to worry about is small stuff, im horrible with wiring though. might now run for another summer.

It's pretty simple. I hate wiring and electricity and all that good stuff and I had the computers swapped out in about an hour or two.

just to clarify, this is to use the 88 computer and engine with the 86 wiring harness that is in my 86?

Right
