no it's not going to work with your computer...
there are a few things that your going to need... ecu.. harnesses... your going to have to do somthing about your speedo since your car is gear driven and the ecu from the mark isn't... ect ect... it'a a lot of work |

no.
the heads are DOHC.. while yours are SOHC... your compression would change and it would mess things up |

Mark VIII pistons are 2.8 cc and would be close to 12 to 1 static compression ratio. That engine should drop right in, you will only need to modify some of your exsisting wiring and have a tune done to optimize running.
