Hello Fellow Brick Lovers:

I have a 1988 744T with a manual tranny, Mitsubishi Turbo and manual seats. Thanks to a situation beyond my control the motor is locked up tighter then you'd believe.

I'm getting ready to buy a 1989 745T with an auto tranny and unknown turbo (mitsubishi or garrett)and power seats.

My 1st question is will the motor bolt up from the 89 to the 88 although they have different tranny's? I want to keep the manual that's in my 744T.

My second question is is my 744T has manual seats, manual sunroofs whereas the 745 has power everything. I've switched out mirrors from manual to power, but how hard is it (is it possible) to replace the fuse center in my non-power 744 with the one from the 745 with the power seats and sunroof?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
