I'm just finishing up putting a LQ4 from a van into my 71. The wiring harness will require more surgery than a pickup harness if you plan to keep it (I bought a pickup harness from board member 68 Four on the Floor), the intake manifold does not have the bolt studs for a vanity cover (obviously the vans didn't have those) and others have mentioned the remote PS reservoir. Other than that, it's the same engine as the pickups had.

Hopefully days away from firing mine up after a year and a half of a very part-time swap project.

Good luck with your swap!
