If your staying stock h.o. specs, keep the sd setup. If you want a more radical cam or more performance oriented mods, go mass air.

I have an 87 .fi harness from my old 302 bird ill let go cheap. You would still need the salt and peper connectors to computer. Using a harness from the same year and dash style should keep your rewiring to a minimum.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Do you have the full digital dash, or the semi digi base cluster?

full digital. Will mass air require a different or modified harness?
