I've heard that the '88 5.0 Thunderbird/Cougar is the harness to have.Motor mounts are getting hard to find.I need to start grabbing them at the yards when I see them.

What year 5.0 harness you need?  I have an 87 one if that will work for you.

Not to sound like a dick but can't you still get new motor mounts at Vato Zone or Advance???

Either way doing a K-member swap to the 84 V8 style (think stang mounts is the way to go).

You can get the cushions for the mounts,but the actual brackets that bolt to the car are not available.....unless you find them from an individual or a salvage yard.

Oh ya I would also need the fuel lines from the filter to the motor. Do I have to use a 5.0 bird drive shaft or will my 2.3 t5 shaft work? How much difference would there be if I used the k member out of the car I am getting the motor out of (86 mustang capri)

The throttle and cruise cable are two seperate cables, right?
