Title: 5.0 Swap in 87 Turbo Coupe
Post by: 67FASTBACK on March 17, 2009, 10:17:47 AM
I'm thinking of doing the swap of a 1990 5.0 - 5 speed from a 1990mustang into an 87 turbocoupe. I know I can use a v8 thunderbird harness and adapt it for the mass air, at least I think this can be done. Does anyone actually make a harness for this swap? I'm in the Toronto area. Also, can I use the 1990 computer module from the mustang or do I need an 87/88 computer module from a mustang or thunderbird?

Use the Thunderbird harness and the Mustang computer.I got my mass air conversion kit from Ebay for about $30.00 or so.The '90 Stang computer should be fine with the Mass Air upgrade.I have a reman. A9P in my car right now.

Hey another guy in the t.o.
It can and has been done by several guys on this site and many others.
I did it with my 87TC.
Look up my write up on the 5.0L swap,it is the most complete i think you'll find.
