Question motor swap to a 84 gn

Hi , I have three grand nationals 84 86 87 . I just bought the 84 no rust at all
the 86 has rust this is what i want to do . I have new motor that was for my 86 .but i want to put it in the 84. The 84 has digital dash 86 dont I took the engine wire harness out of the 86 and the ecm.will this work with the dash? do I have to switch any thing else? is their other thing to swtch over ? I took the power master booster off too. when i look at fuse box thier no fuse for brakes.

Sorry for the slow response, to answer your question, yes, engine harness will work. You will need to run power to the brakes though. Or I would change over to vacum brakles.
