List of EEC-IV Processors for MAF Conversion

I did compare an '87 engine harness to one of my '88 harnesses, both were 5.o, from similar optioned cars, there were a couple of differences that I could spot, connector shapes and pin placement, but like you say, nothing insurmountable.
Now, I did pick up an engine harness from an '88 Cougar 5.0 from a guy here...it had a few differences compared to my original Sport harness. My sport had all the dash options, prem sound, heated ball scratchers, etc, and the cougar was basically an digital cluster, manual heater car. I got the engine to run as well as some, not all of the dash electronics to work with the Cougar harness, but when i put my Sport cluster in after the wire repins, I had a minor fire.
Depending on the year of Mustang...probably '87, '88, maybe the '89, you might be able to repin some connectors, and make it work with some effort. I'd think that the '90 up might be too tricky as it had the airbag stuff, and the relays moved to under the seat for what was 91 I believe...
When I get the 2.3 from my coupe out, and get ready to install the .50 specific wiring and such, I'll compare my Sport's engine harness with that of the 5.o Stang (1989 for it) and note the differences if you could use the info. Pics too.
On a side note, it's warming up here to tolerable temps this week, so I expect to get a lot done this week. I got some antibiotics finally and have really put a hurt on this cold/chest infection or whatever. F*ckin' Aye.
Some of the engine-to-dash connections are most likely physically different, but if you have the car's original connectors, it's just a time and patience matter. I'll definitely compare and take pics though...of course the mass air wiring in theMustang harness will be one difference...curious to see the rest.
