I know people who swear by EFI swaps. I think it's a great idea I would of done it myself if I had the $ or time. I opted for t-5 swap instead.

I got the wiring harness from www.fordfuelinjection.com (go to the products page).

It's VERY nice harness and I was extremely pleased with the quality of it. I bought mine before he raised his prices and only paid like $475 for it at the time. Even now, at $525, it's the cheapest EFI harness I have seen.

That IS a good price, more than $200 less than any other I've seen.

BTW I did a 5.0 EFI swap into a 79 Pace Car replica that originally had a turbo four, using a factory harness. It was fairly easy to do and a lot of fun to drive afterward. Kinda wish I still had it......

Another EFI'er here, and a fan of the www.fordfuelinjection.com site. Mine was DIY, but the circuts outlined there were a hughe help. Especially the power circut.

I'm looking at doing a 5.0/AOD swap into a '69 Coupe. Just started to do a search on similar cars that have completed the swap. The engine that I have is complete including all wiring, computer and sensors from a '87 Cougar with an AOD. The pics of the 66 swap looked great , I like to see Tubo 3's AOD swap to see how the tranny fitted, GOT ANY PICS?

Great site you fellas have here.
