Unless you got all of that stuff very cheap, it's probably easier and cheaper to buy a 96-98 GT and do a PI swap or just buy a 99+GT.
Other than that, I'm pretty much useless. |

Sounds like a good deal...But have you thought about insurance? I know I've heard some bad stories about people doing swaps and then insurance not covering any of it when an accident occurred.
However, good luck. One thing I can say is, if you have all of that out already, get some internal work done on it, unless you are 100% sure you will never want much more power out of it. Personally, it's a great time to forge that sucker and rebuild the tranny. |

Do you have all of the harnesses?
Also it would make life a lot better on you if you would have used the factory fuel system and upgraded the pump since you are taking out a return style system and installing a returnless style. (which cannot support the power that a return style can) My recommendations, use a 96-98 harness EEC, dash, etc use your current fuel system and upgrade pump use a 96-98 GT EEC

99+ engines are able to use the full harness from a 96-98. The main difference is there is an extra temp sensor on the driverside. That can be taken care of by tapping the aluminum crossover on the intake, or extending the temp sensor wiring and installing the sensor in a treaded coolant bung below the driverside head on the back of the block. You might want to post you question as well on http://forums.modulardepot.com/forumdisplay.php?f=4 By the way, welcome to the board! :cheers:

Couldn't he still use the newer fuel system since he was staying stock? Also since the ford gt pumps are being installed the returnless systems can go pretty high in the hp range now.
