YES!!! needs grinding of sump though, but from all reports it is well worth the effort. you kinda need a computer that will run coil packs and that flash manifold though, unless you put your old manifold and dizzy on...

thankx, i can get 1 for 800 bucks off ebay with 155,000 ks on it

shouldnt have told me that, now I want it... but you're safe for now, I don't have $800... and putting it into an EF needs way more effort anyway.

actually the door stuff may fit onto your car, apparently the whole E-Series range had very similar doors, at least externally. You will notice that the EF/L doors have a strange speaker mould that follows the dash line too, it may cause problems.

yes to all your questions Jared except maybe the mirrors.

mirros will fit, seen it done from ea to ed, might need to drill a new hole for one of the screws thow

They all fit including the mirrors you just need to drill holes have another look on lowxr he has them!!

Mirrors will fit all you need to do is use the ED loom plug's for the electric's to work and drill one hole. Apart from that strait swap.

Door handle's strait swap no stuffing around. Unless you have a door triger thing that make's the interior light's come on.(found in monty's.? and ghia's) You have to grind the mounting tab's a little for the nut's to grab the thread on the door handles.or just get rid of them.

Door trim will fit with minor mod's. Im not to sure on them but now of ppl that have done this mod.

Yes grind the front rib's on the sump and it will fit no prob's.

Mirrors FIT... Holes need to be drilled... i have EF Mirrors on my 89 Fairlane and they look a treat although if you do it...
A: use Tiawaneese mirrors... believe it or not the lugs that the screws are longer and stronger
B: You NEED EF/EL Exterior weather strips (EA-D are shorter and leave a hole)
C: Cut the EF Plugs and use EA-D ones
