88 turbo tbird swap 89 hatch mustang questions

mtw002 · September 28th, 2011, 02:14 PM

I'm picking up a 89 mustang w/a 4cyl n/a motor. The guy i'm getting it from also has a 88 turbo tbird 5spd car he's selling also. Other than the motor swap, what parts of the harness will have to be changed? Fuel pump? I know it should bolt directley in but I'm not sure about the harness. Will the tbird harness swap in along w/the computer?

thanks ahead of time.

If all else fails i'll use the tbird as a 24hrs of lemons car and swap a 302 aod in the 4cyl car.

2.3 Turbo Swap Overview

Follow that link above for swap info. I would suggest a new pump if you are considering this swap. A 190 LPH pump will support up to 375 HP, above this consider a 255LPH pump.
