Ok i have been building my car for about 2 years now and im almost finished. Now all that is left is the wiring. The body is a 1989 4cyl automatic and the engine and engine/EEC harness is from a 1991 5.0. I started to realize i had a problem when i tried to plug my v8 harness into the headlight harness. i realize now that it wont work. my question is with the body being an 89 body should i pull my 91 harness stuff and find an 89 engine harness? also it seems like im going to have problems with the fuel pump relay. I would really like to keep the harness i have as ive moved wires around to mount the coil in a different location and i have already wire tucked the harness. I tried to search several forums/websites but most of that is general swap information and confusing wire diagrams, none of which help my specific problem. Any help is greatly appreciated

To make it simple you need to either use ALL(Dash, Engine harness's) of the 91's. Or just find an 89 harness, then its plug and play.
