Title: Mustang as a parts car?
Post by: 86XR7project on March 05, 2010, 09:16:33 PM
I have access to a full 87-93 Mustang 5.0 LX parts car and was wondering if I can use all the EFI wiring and such to set mine up to run EFI. Also what parts would be useful from this car for my car? I know the 8.8 would be useful but is there much more than that?

entire K member swap would be a good start

Why? Mine is exactly the same in my understanding. 85 Cougars used Mustang motor mounts not Cougar/Tbird ones like the 86+ did IIRC.

The engine and tranny would be good.I believe (Not a promise) that the '88 5.0 Cougar/Bird engine harness is the one you really need.Those are getting wicked hard to find.Most of the exhaust (it'll need to be mildly modified for length).Differential,and sell what you can from it on the Corral to make some funds back.
