the throttle bracket on the explder tb is different, i ground off the nub on both tb's and swapped the brackets, rewound the spring, made sure the rod was facing the right direction and laid down a nice bead on it with the mig, dont go too much you will melt the round pieces that the spring sits on. thats all i know soo far, my swap isnt done yet... lemme know if u need me to help ya more on the TB.

also, i beleive the oil pan/pickup assembly is different, and the timing cover is different, its the style of timing cover similar to my '94 GT, the small water pump with no accessory bolts for brackets.... sure makes gettin a pump off nice and easy.
