95 heart in a 88?

SMOKEDYA · Jul 31, 2006

I'm doing a swap with the engine from the 95 into a 88gt. Will i need a dist from a 88? The harness dont match up for the 88 to the 95's? What a headache i'll never do this again. peace

the engines are the same except for the accessories,upper intake, dist, and headers.

The distributor is a bit different, in '94 they moved the TFI to the fender instead of on the dizzy. If you're using the '88 engine harness you'll want the '88 dizzy.

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

I'll gladly trade you straight across for an early style alternator if you want.

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. Good luck John, as I am sure you will be done before me.
