It would be really cool to look under the hood and see that EFI HO engine. You do know this swap will be a lot of work and probably not be low-budget. Tmoss knows his stuff but it's kind of hard to know if we have the proper context for those 4 connections without a link.

The automatic transmission 94-95 U4PO computer will run the AODE. Do you have the tranny wiring harness? It should be attached to the tranny. You could get one of those Baumator tranny control units. Are you keeping the 94-95 specific front accessories, water pump and timing cover or are you using the 79 front accessories, timing cover and water pump? If you're keeping the 94-95 accessories, you need to hook up an electric cooling fan. What are you doing for an electric fuel pump to provide the 40 psi to the injectors? You will also need to fab up a cold air intake.

The computer gets its information from a variety of sources. First, it figures out when to send the injector pulse for each cylinder based on readings from the distributor stator. The mass air flow sensor tells the computer how much air mass is coming in and that gives the computer a starting point for air/fuel ratio. There are other sensors that need to be hooked up and are probably already on your engine: air charge temp (volume of air), water temp, TPS, the EGR EVP, PIP sensor and the O2 sensors. The MAF motors use a BP sensor (so you run as well on top of a mountain as at sea level).

I can relate to what you have ahead of you. I'm putting an HO motor into a speed density efi truck right now so I have a lot of these issues. I decided to go carb, use the 92 truck front accessories and see if I can get the A4OD tranny to work. If not, I will look for an AOD tranny which is not computer controlled.

Here are some links that provided me with good info and maybe they will help you:

Sounds like you have the whole setup off the Mustang. If you have the computer and all the harnesses it's plug and play. If so, the harness that comes from the computer splits and one set of wires goes to the transmission. Plug that into the tranny harness and you should be good. That's all there is to it. But maybe I'm misunderstanding your question. Do you need to rewire? If so, look at a Haynes or Chiltons or similar. Or do you just want to know what the purpose of each wire is?
