It's for my 83 wagon with a 3.8 229 carb motor stock. I figure this applies to 3rd gens as well!

I just picked up a 3.8 turbo motor complete with manifolds, turbo etc; but no harness or ECU.

I want to drop it in and Megasquirt it. I can get a harness for it on ebay for around $200.

Now... am I missing anything? It sure seems like a easy swap!

Not really.

If someone wants to PM you, fine. But, no direct application to 3rd gens.

There is a tech article on putting a Buick turbo V6 in a 3rd gen (a la TTA).
