Hey everyone, i started with a 1988 2.3 mustang AOD, and my doner car is a running 1986 Capri RS 5.0 AOD, I've recently got well into the project and i am ready to drop the 5.0/aod in the 88 tonight, i got looking and i don't think the engine harness is gonna be a plug and play deal, seems to me like the coil wires on the 1986 is coming out of the body harness, so my question is once i put the 1986 harness in the 1988 car where and how can i splice in my coil wires. also is there anyone else that has done this conversion in a 1987 and up car using a 1986 5.0 harness? im planning on having this car running by this coming weekend so all help is appreciated.

Thanks!

I was hoping I could help but my conversion was 92 to 92 so I didn't have that problem.
