The 86 engine would have a different DME and engine wiring harness. The harness on the late cars goes in through the firewall by the battery compartment, with the DME under the passenger footwell; the early cars it's kinda under the steering wheel, so I'm not sure how you'd route the wiring.

But basically, yeah, it's a drop in replacement.

You could probably get away with using the early harness and DME, but it might not run as well.

I can't think of any other differences.
