Dash is the same, doesn't care about the induction system.

You'll have to swap the ECM that's under the dash...

You might want to run a 87 engine harness and ECM. The 86 harness would probably work with the 87 ECM. The 88 is different and the 89 up have the vats in them.

Would his dash harness have all the wires to make the fuel pump work? Also the 85 model year has a maf burn off relay mounted piggy back on the ECM. That was in the z28 and irocs with the 5.0 tpi
