need help putting a '89 5.0 into my '95 v6 automatic

mustang_man1995 · March 28th, 2007, 01:12 PM

i have a 1995 v6 automatic, i have a high hp motor and 5 spd trans from a 1989 mustang. i have the complete engine harness and computer out of the 89. what would be the best and easiest way to do the swap?? i was thinking about using a painless wiring kit, but i was told that if i found a harness and computer from a 94 or 95 gt, that it would be much easier. but i was told by another person that i would need to change something with the distributor and the fuel rail!! please, i need all the help you guys can give me. i also want to keep my stock gauges functional.i'm trying to get the car ready for the spring, and i'm confused!!![/b]

If you wanna install that engine it would be easier to use the 94-95
V8 harness and parts cuz 5.0s were available for those cars.Im not sure but you might need 94-95 V8 engine mounts and a V8 k member

You can make the wiring work from your car, you just have to know how to splice wires and figure out what needs to go where. As far as the motor mounts, they are all the same from 86-95
