Just a quick question for you guys;

If I were to put an 88 engine in my '90 would all of the MAF stuff and sensors bolt right up to it? I suspect I've ruined the bottom end of my engine and will need to swap one out.

It is a one for one swap. There should not be any exterior parts that are not common to both Mustang HO engines. The engines are rated for the same HP, so the inside parts should be the same too.

There is a complete engine in the car already and I will probably pick up a second complete engine, it would just be speed density. I figured everything would swap over no problem but wanted to make sure. Thanks!
