Transferance of S O U L

Ok, one 1987 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe will be sacrificed for my 88 LS project. (The bird is kinda beat up thats why Im taking her apart). I want to transfer EVERYTHING from the T/C to the LS. But after reading Im thinking its not such a good idea to do the ABS and PRC systems. Am I correct in thinking its to much of a nightmare hassel to try and retrofit these systems to my LS?  Thanx:oldcougar:

Well IF you're stripping each car down till it's not much more than a shell, wouldn't be that big of a deal, BUT the PRC shocks are long obsolete and the ABS booster is also unavailable, not even rebuilt units... Lots of guys have converted TCs to std shocks(easy), the ABS system is a bit more work...

EDIT

BTW the 2.3 EEC test connector is in the PRC/ABS harness, so even if you don't use either system, those wires must be stripped out of the harness and installed or you'll not be able to scan the computer for codes...

thanx tc50...I figured as much. I dont care for ABS that much anyways, takes the fun out of it. and my 90 Cougar XR7 SC 5 speed had the auto shocks and they were stuck on firm but I like a smoother ride. My Mazdaspeed, Corvette ride hard enough
