Hey guys, i am in the process of putting a sn95 dash in my 88 fox with the mod motor conversion. All of the body wireing and dash are from a v6 that i just purchased. The computer harness that comes out of the firewall, can i use that for a v8? or do i have to buy the 4.6 computer harness? I have the cobra computer and pats is already disabled on it, same with the imrc option. I just want to make sure that this v6 computer harness is gonna work for my v8 and it isnt gonna fry my computer.
can anyone help me?
thanks

The V8 definately has a different harness than the V6 does.
