Not sure bout the harness question, but I have a customer/friend that built a stout 85 XLT 302 & used an Explorer 4.0 radiator. He said he just had to move the mounts lower as the Explorer radiator is taller.

91-94 is a bolt in, later ones are taller.

I am using a 91-94 Ex (A/C automatic, any other combo is the same single core the 2.8 had) in my '85.
