Shouldn't have too much problem if you make sure you get everything. If you want cruise control, ac, etc, you just need to park the donor car next to your workshop so you can keep going back for more parts. I put a 92 Mustang 5.0 in my 54 - complete with emissions, converters, and connected it to an 85/86 Tbird steering column with delay wipers, cruise, etc. Took me a couple of weeks just to do the wiring, and I had diagrams from each model. I had to draw and build my own crossover wiring. But it will work. Only problem I have had is that I put the computer in the passenger kick space, didnt' seal the cowl vent and my computer cable got wet, causing a shutdown. No permanent damage, as soon as I dried it out everything was fine.
