My first suggestion would be "don't do it". The trouble and expense makes it a very marginal project.

MUCH easier to sell what you've got and buy a 99-94 GT.

If you simply MUST do this, be aware that you should swap out the transmission as well (your tranny won't stand the torque).

You should also add the sway bars from the GT donor car, and as much of the suspension as you can (the weight and balance of the two cars is different).

Wiring harness, of course, and all the front dress and accessories...

Gauges if you want the GT speedo...
