I recently bought a 302 5.0 that was bored out to 331. It has gt40 heads, comp cam, and flat head pistons. The problem is, the gentleman I bought it from told me it was out of a truck; a 1990 f-150. Because of this, it has the truck wiring harness and I am unsure if it is useable on my mustang especially considering that it is maf. My 88 gt is speed density.<br /><br />Will a truck engine harness work with the existing wiring harness that is coming through the firewall already or do I have to obtain a mustang specific engine harness?<br /><br />Does the harness have to be for the year of the computer, or can it be any old harness that is mass air? ~The current computer is an 87 apparently (dont know how/why) with the code DA9 and from what I have read through on another forum, I cannot use it for this new engine I wish to put in.~<br /><br />The engine was attached to an automatic transmission, so will I need a pilot bearing for the manual transmission switch? Also, how shall I get this drive shaft to pull the motor and transmission? My nissan 240sx u-joint was very different; I am new to mustangs, and I apologize for my lack of knowledge.<br /><br />What if any parts need to be swapped from the 1990 powerplant in order to fit and work in my fox? Some concerns i was thinking about were oilpan, manifolds etc..<br /><br />Any help and advice is greatly appreciated.<br /><br />Apologies for the amount of text. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>JohnB</b> <br /><small>Member # 969</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2011,6,22,9,56,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Welcome to the Board. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> <br /><br />Before we get too far into the post, is the cam a H.O.

The code on the eec was C3W1 which I believe is for the 89-93 auto mustangs. I wasnt hearing any discrepancies with the firing order while the engine was running. He did say however, that the C3W1 was for non AOD so it would work for a 5spd manual mustang as well; however I myself dont want to take that at face value and would rather get some information before I do something bad.<br /> <br /> <small>[ July 22, 2011, 01:41 PM: Message edited by: Thgzfrlife ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Duncan Motors</b> <br /><small>Member # 7045</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2011,6,22,15,5,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> google th eecm number. but the firing order will tell all.if its a non roller motor, throw it a away. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Musttanguy</b> <br /><small>Member # 2251</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2011,6,22,16,52,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> The C3W1 is a MAF Mustang automatic computer which is typically installed in 1993<br /><br />Need to find out if H.O.
