87 Ranger 2.3 Turbo swap

[rayray9933]

Ok , could someone please help with this . I have read forums til I'm dizzy. I have done import swaps and s10 swaps and this is my first ford . My ranger has a 2.3 (speed density) and automatic . I have an 88 T-Bird turbo engine , mounts , sensor and ECU . I purchased a Detailzone 2.3 turbo swap harness which is engine to ECU . My question is , what about my dash ? Lights , gauges and ignition ? Please simple answers . Im 45 years old and been in automotive work my whole life . And yes the rest of the truck is set up for everything . I have tried other forums just to get people to ask me about everything else . This turbo engine will be installed stock for now . Mods will come latter with a stand alone . Any help would be great . Thank you

What about the dash? You can run the stock gauges on the 2.3t. All of that stuff will work fine with the 2.3t. I'm unfamiliar with the harness you are buying. On my 86 Ranger all I had to do was add in the vam, move some pins around, and extend a couple wires. No need for a different harness.
