guys im new to this forum and i purchused a 1995 3.8 mustang really cheap
and since it has a blown motor ive decided to swap a 5.0 in
the motor i am getting for the car is a 1993 Thunderbird 5.0 EFI with about 50k on the clock
my questions are
1.what wiring harness's will i need to purchuse to get the car running
right now it has the v6 wiring will this work as far as under the dash goes?
2.i plan to swap a 5 speed in since the engines a 93 should i buy a 93 5.0 5speed computer or a 94/95

you will need to find a new wiring harness and ecu. I do not think the 5.0 in the thunderchickens are the same as the 5.0 in the mustang 5.0's. The same applies to the 5.0 trucks, know that tried to fit one and it was completly different. Try to find a parts car, that's your best bet to get everything you need.

the thunderchicken 5.0 is a HO 5.0 like a mustang.

the earlier 5.0 t-birds ( up to 1988) used the non HO 5.0
