Is it possible to transplant a c27a into a 1987 sedan 5 speed? if yes would you have to get a new ecu and a different transmission too?

Absolutely possible...

Youd need the engine (duh), ECU, Igniter Unit, and Vacuum box...

Theres some wiring involved but its should be fairly simple and straightforward.

Also helps that you have a 5 speed as the auto trannys ARE different....

The one circled is the vacuum box:

now how about a 5-speed and a C27 into a 87? what else do i need to swap the tranny?

^ yeah the 5 speed would be the best bet since the 2.5 Auto needs a signal from the 2.5 ECU for lockup....so you COULD keep a 2.5 auto, but it may never lockup :sadwavey:

A 2.7 auto could theoretically be swapped in too so long as you wired up the TCU as well...

hoow much does a an ecu, vacuum box, and an igniter unit usually cost?

You can go to the junkyard and pull them out from there. Look for a 88-90 Legend.
