I bought a roller 96 mustang and I got a 98 donor mustang to get everything from and I switch everything over from the 98 into the 96 and I got a 99 Lincoln motor from free with lower miles and got it finally started and for some reason it keeps popping it has bbk shorty headers and a catless h pipe with flowmaster 50s. Any help would be greatly appreciate this is my first sn95 mustang and I love these cars. Update next day here 7-8 wires were switched.

Check your plug wiring if using the 2 coil pack system still.
