Re: Help With A Swap,
 

hey bud i did the swap from 4cly to 5.0 in my 93, my doner car was a 91 the only prob i had was the 93 had the fuel pump relay under the hood on the 4cly harness. i wish i new more about the newer ones but i didnt have to touch the dash harness on mine and i bet u wont on your either. i put gt guadge cluster in my v6 and every thing reads fine so i guess the wiring on the 6 and gt are the same. if u want the easy way put a carb on it and a msd ignition. but if u go to MPS they can help u. good luck the only thing i can tell you is the upper intake will not clear on a sn95 mustang, that why the 94 95 mustang 5.0s had a different upper intake to claer the shock tower, but they my make a adapter for the older intakes.

Re: Help With A Swap,
 

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

Re: Help With A Swap,
 

THANKS FOR THE HELP GUYS, IS THERE ANYWAY TO GIVE ME A HEADS UP OF HOW TO DISABLE IT,?? ( PATS)
- THE UPPER AND LOWER ARE ALREADY PORTED W/ A 70mm TB AND ALL READY TO GO, DOESNT THE 4.6 SIT HIGHER IN THE ENGINE BAY THAN 5.0 ??
- JUST GETTING THE COLD FEET IF YOU WILL BOUT THE SWAP, I KNOW ITS NOT GONNA ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS AND WILL STILL HAVE HURDLES TO JUMP, JUST THE THOUGHT OF NOT HAVING A CAR FOR A MONTH IS KINDA TOUGH SEEING AS ITS A D.D.
