More then likely you have a giant vacuum or air leak.

Can you keep the car running with you foot on the pedal?

Use the 91 keg (motor) and all of the 87 accessories(front cover, omp, intake, etc, etc,...) and ECU. Putting in the 91 ECU and harness is more then just the motor, you will have to rewire most everything in the car.

There should be a write up on how to do this somewhere on the board.
