ok so far EA and EA with the 4sp and EB S1 will fit

also putting a EB /ED cluster in for the taco meter is pretty straight forward ?

ive read the technical tutorial and it seems straight plug and swap

you can only run the EA/EB1 ECUs.

Newer models had the 4 speed auto integrated into the ECU.

I think I might still have an EA 3 speed ECU out of a Fairmont Ghia. PM me if you want it.

you can run eb2 or ed ecu, you just need to treat it like a manual conversion as the 3 speed has no need for the auto part of the ecu..
only problem that will come up is smartlock..so a smartlock bypass will also be needed.
