I did it. I don't have the car anymore but if you got a question feel free to ask me. I did a stock swap by the way. I used an 87 turbo car as the donor. It's all plug and play and all chasis's have pre-existing bolt holes. Very easy.

Mine is 86.5 GE-T, feel free to ask. Pretty sure the 86.5 is treated as any pre 89. I may be wrong but I haven't ran into any differences in ordering turbo parts for a 87. Cheers, goodluck.

When getting parts for my 86.5 I NEVER told them 86 because they would ALWAYS give me MKII parts. When at the parts counter, my car was an "87" model.

Agreed. I work at O'Reilly's, and the first question that pops up when you put 86 in the computer is: Engine 2.8 or 3.0, but it's safe to go with 87.

One thing I am confused about is the HAC sensor. I got the 87 T engine harness, but was wondering can I run the sensor without having to get the dash harness. I just want to get the car running!!! I eventually want to convert the whole thing. Its just time and money are limited right now

The HAC is part of the eninge harness, external pre 89. Post 89 it is intergrated into the ECU. POC pal

When you get the GTE engine harness, you'll have a spot to plug in the HAC sensor by the ECU.
