myself and a few friends have done the sohc swap without swapping wire harnesses or computers. myself, im running it on a ohv eec-iv computer with a custom tune of course.
I documented my entire swap here with tons of info and pictures. a few others who have done the swap have also chimed in with their anomaly's with different year vehicles and such.
