It fits but the adaptor plate looks like chit.

The plate is not that noticeable one the engine is installed.  You will need to get an early twin cam wiring harness to accommodate the crank sensor and others that are on the motor, not a big deal to install the harness.  The coil needs to be changed to fit the new harness connector.  Use an aftermarket ECU like Crane or Accell to be able to tailor the timing curves to you liking.  The biggest downfall of the early 88s was cam chain tensioner.  It is an early model motor go for a good gear drive cam set.  I learned the lessons on the cams the hard way.  If jugs and pistons are available cheap bump it to 95ci. The heads flow better than EVOs and you can get a lot of power out of a 95 twin cam.
