Welcome to the forum, bt-
Some of these guys really know their stuff- but if you can't wait for them to wake up, try checking the FAQ's and search functions at the top of the posts.
Happy posting!!

Seems like your on the right track, BUT. First in formost, as everyone will try to pound into your head, is making sure the car is running tip top in stock codition before modding. Even more important is to make sure the engine is healthy. If your engine is not healthy it will blow up, now question about it.
Going from a 97 to a 87 you are going to run into ALOT of little things that you didn't have to think about before. These issues can be resolved with some research, elbow grease, and motivation.
Some examples of things I am talking about that you should search this site for are-
Pulsation Dampener Mod
Fuel Pump Rewire
Fuel Cut Defender
You should also get your injectors cleaned because they are probably flowing 80% of stock. Search this site and read as much as you can.
