It will bolt right in shouldnt have to do to much fab work. The wiring on the other hand is a whole different animal. If you get a wiring harness for the motor and trans and for the wiring behind the dash it wont be to bad. Good luck.

Head to the swaps section, there is a ton of info to be found there, if you can get past the *****ing and bickering by the teenage experts.
