:bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: GOD #@*^%!! Figures! So anyone got a good stock 88 dist. to trade for a good stock 95 one? The 95 had 55xxx miles on it thanks for the help pog. BTW you intrested in the 95 shell? All i have left to do is that the starter alt exhust and the clutch cable! peace

Thanks i'm actually doing it for a friend and he is going to get a new one. So another question, didnt some post on here or in the 5.0 forum about hooking up the 95's alt also? The wireing is diffrent as well. And i'm thinking we are gonna need a new powersterring pump also cause the high pressure side line has a diffrent fitting? This has been a huge learning experiance for me as for i thought it would be a simple swap and has turned into a night mare! The headers worked but is awful close to the strut tower on the passenger side. The starter has diffrent connections to. I'm trying to save the guy some extra cash by doing this for him but is giving me a hella headache! peace

LOL! You have it easy, in comparison to my project. I am using the FRPP wiring harness, which is essentially a mass-air fox body harness. It is going to have to fit a '95GT vintage 5.0L engine, as well as fit inside an '88 bronco II engine bay. I dealt with the same power steering fitting issue yesterday. I have a remote oil filter located under the core support and custom long tube headers. I have performed extensive heater box modifications just to get the engine to fit. So far, things are going well, except that FRPP seems to have discontinued two pieces of the wiring harness that I need. I love how they sell the main harness and TPS adapter, but they no longer seem to sell the injector harness or the O2 harness.:bang: Good luck John, as I am sure you will be done before me.
