It can be done, you will need the tranny as well and some fab work will need to be done. both are not worth much, so I don't think its worth the time.. you will need to do allot of re-wring as well...

the electronic engine controls are the difference- it is not worth the time- either rebuild the engine you have or go for a crate engine with a carb-
