I know this is reduntant, but mass air question March 22, 2012, 09:14:44 PM I have found a thread about mass air swaps, but it doesnt give any computer part numbers so i want to make sure im doing this right. i've done many many mustang swaps, but this time its an 86 xr7 Im trying to convert. I got an a9l ecm from a mustang and the mass air sensor and wiring. I just want to make sure im using the right ecm and all and if its wired the same as a mustang.

I don't know if an 86 Mustang harness will work or not. In addition you're going to need T-bird/Cougar specific fuel lines. I would recommend using the lines from an 87-88 5.0 T-bird or Cougar as they are routed to allow for dual exhaust, where as the earlier cars are not. Quote Selected
