951 engine compatibility 1986 - 1988
If you drop a 1986 engine into a 1988, what considerations need to be taken? Does the DME need to be swapped out (24 vs 28 pin)? What else?

Nothing really - the oil level sender will not work.

Oil level sender? Is that something on the 86 but not the 88?

I don't recall my 88 having an oil level sender. (We're not talking about the pressure sender are we?)

No - your 88 had a level sender and a pressure sender. The 86 oil pan does not have provisions for both.

There's no gauge on the 88 for the oil level, did the sender just signal the warning light in the instrument cluster then?

Yes just a warning light on the later cars.

The 3 bolt triangle thingie next to your oilpan drain on your 88 is the level sender
