Just picked up an 88 Merkur XR4Ti with LA3 already installed and a few other aftermarket parts. I am about to start the swap today. I only have a couple of questions.

1. Will I have to do any pinouts due to the fact I am useing the xr4ti's wire harness, computer, motor and trans. If so does anyone have an idea where I can find that information?

2. Will the Type 9 5 speed work just fine without the driveshaft being modified?

3. Also I have a 60 mm Mustang GT throttle body I was looking at putting on, is there anything special I have to do to it to make it work?


Any info would be great Thanks
 
More questions

I was wondering if I have to swap the ranger accesories onto my merkur engine or can I leave the merkur accesories on? I only ask this cause it is going to be a pain in the butt changing the pullies on everything over from v-belt to serpentine. Please if anyone has info I would greatly appreciate it. Since I have posted 2 posts now and no one ever answers them.
