If your car came with a 5.0,just get the Mass Air conversion kit (I got mine for cheap from Ebay) and do the job.It comes with the wire,plug,ends for the computer harness.easy to do and the kit is worth buying.The colors of the wires are correct,very clean and neat.

If your car is an '88, you will need a harness from an '88 5.0 Cougar/Bird. There are slight plug differences between '87 and '88.:D

well the rear is in. Started on the motor, still have to get the heads done, 1.90, 1.60 valves. My friend gave me a HO cam so thats in. The machine shop suggested 1.7 pedestal rockers with the ho cam. Waiting on the engine harness and then ill pull out the 3.8. And as always still hunting parts before I can proceed any farther.

Sounds and looks like you're off to a good start.
When you post pics that are hosted on photobucket, just use the IMG code, not the one you've bene using, as the pics will come right up.

Good luck!
