What can I keep when swapping a 87TII motor into my 91 n/a
Just wanted to know if some stuff will plug into the 87 harness and still work with the 87 ecu? Like coils, crank angle, a/c, P/S and anything else i would be able to keep? Thanks for the help guys!

You do realize if you use the s4 ECU, you'll have to hack apart your s5 dash harness and fit a s4 connector onto it?
I never will understand why people can't buy parts from the same series as their car.

But I agree with Sonic, get the right series engine and harness for the car.
And most of the things you mention that I am assuming are S5 can be used on a S4 engine (although I sure as hell would not want some of the S5 parts like the power steering myself)

S5 engines with all parts to go from N/A, Auto tranny to TII. I was unable to find one and the ones I did find cost way more than the conversion should cost me. I do have both the s4 harnesses and I am going to use that one.

note.... there are a few things that arent interchangable though.... like the instrument cluster
