IIRC the 5.0 was batch fired until 1996 OBDII days

but a TFI 5.0 ecm can plug in place of a 2.9L ECM, and 2 injectors then need to be soldered into the harness,

aside from that, the sensors all have the same connectors, the same connector on the TFI distributor, and everything. it's a pretty painless wiring setup

I helped a guy in 2010 do this

Thanks that's the word I was looking for, and I'm sure that mustang intake can be found cheap from someone who upgraded..

Going have to do some reading on this, I hate wireing, the truck is a 97 3.0 that i'm wanting to swap. So on the wireing, can I not use the stuff that is in the f150? or is it going to be a major pita to do?

For a 97 ranger, the 96-97 5.0 explorer is a 98% plug n play swap on the electrical side...
