My 89 motor went ker-blamo at NJMP last weekend. I just picked up a 86 motor to replace. Several folks have told me I can use my 89 dme and harness with the 86 motor. But they have been fuzzy with the details.

Can I do this? Anything I should look out for? Are the injectors the same between the motors?

Since a lot of what was on the 89 motor was new or recently replaced, I'd prefer to use items from it rather than the unknown bits on the used motor.

Thanks!

 

86 has a different oil pan 87+ have an oil level sensor.

looks like the DME ECU is the same from 1985.5 onwards to 1989

 

Thanks Peanut, that looks like an interesting site.
