I put a 95 F150 351 with a Holley carb and a Pertronics distributor into my 93 Ranger. I used a carb because I have over 40 years experience with them and can get better throttle response than EEC IV or OBD II ever thought of. And that's what I wanted. I stripped 4 cardboard boxes of wining out of the truck and used an EVTM and a note pad to create my own wiring harness because I'd rather spend a few days than the hundreds of dollars a Painless kit costs. I used an Airtex low PSI external fuel pump and turned the intank pump bracket into a fuel pickup and sender.That being said, if you have a complete donor car it makes sense and will save money to use as much of the original stuff as possible. There's almost unlimited Fox Mustang parts availability. I read on here that either Explorer or T Bird front drive systems fit better than the Fox body stuff I used but didn't know that at the time. I ended up hollowing out my core support and locating the radiator inside it, finding Explorer or T bird brackets and pulleys would have been a lot easier.
