87' 2.8 to 87' 350 TPI

The dash wiring is 2.8 stock except for the 145mph guage cluster (from an 87'). I want to put in an 87' 350 TPI. Will the engine harness plug into the fire wall connector without mods?? I have an 87 350 TPI ECM and realize the 350 TPI harness will connect no problems there, my question is at the firewall near the brake booster???

I don't believe you will have to change anything there. The engine harness goes to the fenderwell and passes through the body to connect to the ECM. Only if you are changing the dash harness will you have to fiddle with the firewall connector on the driver's side (which I did, and did).
