I had a '93 GMC Sonoma with the CPI 4.3L and it had 195hp, the later ones had 200hp (all fullsize were 200hp). It ran 9.64 in the 1/8th mile all day long. Mustangs thought I had a V8 in it also, if it was a stock Mustang, and he wasn't paying attention, I would beat him. I loved that truck.....

If you got the wiring harness from the donor, it shouldn't be a huge problem. The ECM's should be the same.
