Dash Conversion
 

I am in the process of doing a 85 to 93 style dash conversion the wiring harness is from a 302 throttle body and I want to adapt all the guages to fit a 351W. I also ran into the problem of the hazard lights being on the steering and having to relocate them on the console.

I definately would like to speak to anyone who's was stupid enough (like me) to start a project like that.

So if there is any Mustang guru out there that knows their harness color codes by heart please please help me.

ouch.

Besides for the wiring does the dash fitin place alright? I might be able to find out the wiring schematis for the swap I have a buddy that is my mustang god.

The dash fits right in place, but the steering colunm needs to be replaced by the new style as the wiper and signal lever are in the way and hit the dash from underneath.
I would really like to hear from anyone having insight into the swap.

If it will help any, I have a complete set of Ford manuals for the 89 mustangs, including the electrical schematics manual. If needed I can scan them in and E-mail them to you.

A friend of mine did this also. 88 gt 302 dash, engine , all into a ( I think an 84 gt) He had to change the steering coulum, and I think the whole wire harnees was swaped to, front to back. His email is brownsmustang@aol.com or brownmustang@aol.com he might can help you. Try both emails one of them is right. Hope this helps.
