I suspect that most things will fit, but you have to do a wholesale
transplant... dashboard, center console, door panels, seats, all trims
and bits.  Not to mention also changing to a 89+ 200 instrument cluster
(can't use the one from the V8 because the tach is for an 8-cyl engine),
and likely a bunch of wiring modifications.
