im gonna go look at a 87 gxl that my bro in law says in in perfect condition, inside and out, but the coolant seals are toast.
im plannin on putting my engine (86 gxl) into it....i have no experience in pulling/putting engines, and i was wondering if anyone has done this or something like this...mainly if there will be any incompatiblilities, i woundnt imagine there being any, but......

 

it will drpo right in.

 

SDrotary is right, the 86 and 87 models are one in the same, just disconnect everything, get a cherry picker (engine lift) to pull out the engine and drop it right it and reconnect everything, you might have to tweak somethings but it should fit right in there
