Default Series II

How difficult would it be to swap a series II engine into a series I body?
What would the approximate performance gains be? Quater mile? HP?
What would the cost be?
Is this even practical?
I need some input, cause its just an idea now, but I want to learn as much as possible about it.

You need the full drivetrain, PCM, and engine wiring harness. I'm betting you could do a budget job yourself for about 3k. If you're willing to tackle it personally. You would add about 50hp.

I have no advice for you, but I'll just say good luck, and that thing will fly when it'* done.
