I am in the process of this swap and found a few things out.

Get the harwood swap manual first and the wiring headache is eliminated.

Non HO and HO engines have diffrent firing orders.

I am running an AOD auto and had to make a plate to move it about 2 in fwd.

The factory 99 Ranger 4cyl mass air harness plugs directly into a 94-95 Mustang mass air meter. The plug wire colors are the same as the older mass air harnesses, and can be used as a pigtail.


A return fuel line will need to be added.

I am using the motor mount adapter plates a member on here made. I made a set from his drawings, (after seeing it was ok to duplicate) One is a flat plate and one has a step in it.

My engine started life as a non HO roller out of a crown vic. The driver side facing throttle body gave my A/C equipped truck plenty of clearance.


Most importantlly, use the search window, and read, read, read.

What kind of post is this? You do a great job of laying out what you have, where you are going and what you have learned and passing on!. Not a single question? May you be cloned! Good example of digging and using the search feature and finding good reference material.

Just to further "learn" you, the 94-97 5.0's from the trucks and vans also use the HO firing order. As does the Explorer/Mountaineer 5.0's, which used the same cam as the above mentioned trucks.
