- ?

AND THE LIST GROWS THE MORE I THINK BOUT IT.. JUST THOUGHT ID THROW THAT OUT TO SEE WHAT YALL THINK , THANKS....JAMES (KT TX)

First off-use the 94-95 GT upper cause it will simplify the hell out of the install. get a 94-95 TB linkage and 94-95 EGR.

The PATS system is a pain in the ass to get around.

If the dash wiring plugs up you should be good.

If you are using a 94-95 5.0 harness,sensors and ECU you should be good.

I helped a guy put a 4.6 in a 1992 coupe and the PATS system drove us crazy. I suspect it will have to be disabled when doing a 5.0swap
