You'll need the 88 only.  The 87 still had the CFI 3.8.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Yes it CAN be done that way, but it will be enough work to just swap over one that is exactly the same let alone having to do some minor rewiring.  Direct plug and play requires an 88 harness.
