What would be easier: a full body swap or an interior swap?

Swap the entire body
Swap just the interior
It's a nightmare either way so don't bother

Well, I'm not too worried about the VIN since a good buddy of mine is a VIN inspector for CA.  I've also got weekend access to a shop with several lifts so physically moving the bodies isn't too much of a worry.  My biggest worry is the wiring harness.

Does anyone know if Toyota just had a standard wiring harness so that extras could plug right in or are they substantially different?  The harness I've got on the bone stock 85 has extra plugs all over the place.  Even if I swapped the bodies wouldn't I have to swap the harnesses as well which of course would entail some amount of unplugging from the engine?  i.e. removing the upper air intake to access the harness and fuel injectors.
All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.
