When i mentioned using an ABS system from a donor he started talking about the original mass of the donor and how the abs ecu interprets the signals
from the wheel sensors, the upshot was that unless the abs ecu is programmed for a 7 size and weight car and understands the chassis dynamics or at
least has data to work from, your abs system from the donor will only give marginal performance at best.
Dangerous IMHO.
I was talking to a GM Detroit engineer about ten years in an EFI forum he said much the same, the car companies spend many thousand manhours setting
up the ABS system for an individual vehicle.
