Default 1990 motor and trans into 1985 swap

How hard would this be?
ive got a 90 with a good motor and trans would it be a straight forward swap of the motor trans and computer? Or would it be a big wireing heafache becouse of the differences between the years? And would I be able to keep speed density or have to go to MAF?

Default

If you used the existing wiring and MAF, it wouldn't be a big deal. If you want to convert it to SD, you can, but it's not really worth the effort. You'll also need to use the intake with the cold start injector or get the PROM changed to delete it.
