1987 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe

Hello.  New to the forum.  Got a question.  Picked up a 1987 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe.  Not runnibg but I can fix it to tun.  I am thinking about picking up a sweet deal.  1995 Cobra Mustang engine and transmission.  32000 original miles.  All accessories, ECU, harness etc.  Is this a hard swap to complete?  What else is needed?  Worth it?  I appreciate any help.  Thanks.

If your not worried about retaining the ac, ride control and maybe the ABS, the swap is much like other Mustang 4 to 8 cyl. swap, lots of info out there. To keep the ride control and other TC options, it can get pretty harry because much of the EEC harness is tried into these other circuits.
