Default 3.9l LA to magnum swap

I have an 89 kota TBI. I would like to do the magnum swap because off 55+ hp and better mpg. But I can't find any writeups on here. Is there anyone that has done this before. How hard of a swap is this and what all do I need.

Ya nothing specific on that swap. But if I remember right it will bolt in. You will need a complete wiring harness and computer from the magnum and transmission. Just read ALL the write ups in the FAQ2.
