computer from mustang

Ok I might have made a mistake today when I purchased the motor, it had a wiring harness and computer for a mustang, the donor mustang was still in his garage, but after I got home I noticed the computer says L1C on it, and looking that up it says for a 91-93 tbird non HO motor.  Can I use it with putting in a T-5 later?  or should I get the A9L computer and use the wiring harness?

If it's for a 91-93 Tbird 5.0, it's an HO...or so I've read and seen with my own eyes.

Man I am confused here to, the motor is from another mustang, but the harness came out of one that was in his garage, I guess someone put the L1c in the mustang or something. Yes it was an auto mustang, but can a 5 speed work with those computers?

Go get your money back, at least for the computer.

L1c is a 91-93 tbird, and a completely different pin setup then a mustang, or 86-88 cat/bird.

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.
