Engine swap question!

I was wondering how many of you have done a motor swap and what kinda problems you ran into.

I am taking a 87 GXL (auto) and swapping the motor and tranny from my 86 Base model.

Just wondering what kind of problems I may run into.

Thanks.

The transmission crossmember mounts are different between auto and manual chassis. You'll need to do a little fabricating: http://rotaryresurrection.com/2ndgen...to_5speed.html
