I have a 1980 toyota pickup 4x4 that had a downey offroad buick v6 kit installed. i originally blew the transmission. i went to my neighbor (he has about 25 g body cars in his yard) and ended up buying a hot air engine and a turbo 350 trans. I didnt do to much reading before hand and had casper electronics build me a stand alone harness for an 85 engine. after doing some reading i figured i wanted to intercool it. i did some reading on swapping the 86-87 intake on the hot air engine, but my question is. Are the plugs the same? can i just plug in my harness and go? i know the dog house will need to get cut down. i need to keep the turbo in the hot air location because otherwise it would hit my battery, radiator, and the down pipe would have to come ou tof the wheel well without some extreme bends. Ill post some pictures when i get home tonight. Thanks!
 
Post some pics. You don't need the 86/87 intake to run an intercooler. I've got an old sperco adapter the will allow you to rotate the turbo and keep the throttle body in the stock location. Would just need to fab up an adapter for the intake.
 
Had a hard time trying to upload pictures from my phone. i will email them to myself and use the computer to do it.
 
Engines on the stand on the moment, i can get some more pictures tonight.
