5.0 accessorie brackets which years are interchangable

I have most of the parts collected for my 87TC to 5.0HO however I am still missing all of my accessorie brackes the local Pick and Pull has several 90 on up thunderbirs and I was just wondering If I could just pull a set from one of them.

They 90 up are different,but if you got everything from one it may work.I am unsure if the balancer is different as well.I'd get everything and start from scratch.

I would suspect it could get tricky mixing and matching different parts.  Like Vinn said, if you get all the brackets and items from the same car it may work, from the later model 5.0.

Just keep all parts (brackets,hardware and accessories) from the same car and I would think you would be OK.  :hick:

I believe the '90 and up 5.0 Birds have accessories that are closer and lower on the engine.Watch for the accessory mounts and how that can effect your current a/c,steering pump,etc.

A member here swapped an MN-12 5.0 into an 83.  He used the MN-12 brackets.  Smog equipment was an issue.

Here's a thread on it.  http://www.foxtbirdcougarforums.com/showthread.php?t=10085
