'79 vs '83 engine?
My '83 NA engine blew a head gasket 175K,and i found a good price on a '79 rebuilt NA. Will this engine plug and play in my '83 or are there issues such as sensors in different places or different sensors etc?
Thanks

Yes my 79 had no chts the wireing for that was in the thermostat housing. I say this to everyone same block swap the intake to the car its going in and presto. Now since your not running the chts sensor you need to extend the wires from the back passenger side of the head to the 79 thermostat sensor. So in your case you would keep your thermostat housing change the intake manifold and exaust manifold "o2 sensor" vs none in the 79. Now I don't recall which one is which on the thermostat housing 2 clip ins one is for the temp gauge the other is coolent temp sensor. So were backwards the 81 engine in 80 body
