 that's a bad ass build on the truck.  I have dreams of someday doing a 2.3T or V8 swap 93-97 Ranger.  I've had a couple of those trucks and they're fun little guys.
'88 'bird, 10.9:1 306 w/TFS top end, forged rods/pistons, T-5 swap & bunch of other stuff, 1-family owned, had it since ‘98, 5.0tbrd88 on Instagram and YouTube

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.

Killer build, you no doubt have some mad fab skills, major ass kicker... :bowdown:

What you've done most only daydream about and transplanting a newer EFI engine using a factory wiring harness generally requires approx equal electrical wiring skills(yeah they are easy with a custom harness)... The average enthusiast that understands how electrical circuits operate is fairly rare...
