    extra O2 sensor, or use existing 86 exhaust manifold.

    I thought that the vacuum line setup was a little different between the two also.

    itd be tough to put the 89 intake into the 86 all the vacuum lines are different as well as the vacuum control box. You could do it but it sounds like alotta work. You could also just keep the 86 intake and exaust manifold on the 89 engine but you wouldnt gain any power that way

    are the two engines different? I thought that 86-89 was the same cept for some sensors.
