The only area that you will run into any challenge is the rear brake lines. They run totally different due to the design differences of the two rearends. Other than that, it is pretty much plug n play.

Mach 1 with procharger ( what the cobra should of been) solo is correct guessin the brake lines are routed different because of the irs the lines would have to come from the top?

You'll need exhaust too. For the money you are going to fork over for the IRS, you can almost get the complete Griggs or MM rear suspension setup...and you'll be much better off than the stock IRS.

I would be guessing if I hadn't done one or two swaps before.

And a big DOH! for not remembering the exhaust. That is just a bolt on affair and most of the time you're going to recieve that from the owner of the donor car (assuming it is someone local who wants your solid rear end).
