ill take a stab at saying it shuold just drop in. of course you'll need the tranny, electronics and everything. ill prolly get shut down in a few secs by someone who really knows those years.

You can probably still buy the conversion kit for the engine. It'll include the motor mounts, oil pan, and everything you'll need to drop the engine in...except for maybe the sheetmetal work.
