Why are you swapping parts if both cars are running great?

Sorry i am just going to be doing the Drive Terrain I am sure i will not have a Prob with anything other then the Wireing Harness i just do not know all that much abou it and if it would be a long ongoing thing to get it out and back in. I am doing the Swap cuz the Turbo Car i am only going to have for a nother few mouths or till i am down with the swap and i want to keep the Turbo and from what i have read it is hard to put a Turbo on on a N/A.

Turboin' and NA is not that hard at all...now an 89 to an 88 is hard only because of the electronics and ecu. stay in the years 87-88 and the swap is a piece of cake...as simple as an engine swap.
