Keep in mind that your 1988 Bronco II does not have the 42 pin connector (engine harness to body harness) that 1995-current trucks have. So an Explorer harness is in no way plug and play, so the harness you choose (Mustang, Explorer, whatever) is going to require the same amount of work. Your rig uses a couple connectors, one of which is a large 53 pin piece. You use about nine of them...
The trans an harness you listed would work.
If you want info on a 4r70w trans in a '94/'95 'Stang, browse the Mustang forums.
Major differences with the '94/'95 Harness or the Distributor uses a remote mount TFI module, instead of the early version, where the TFI is mounted to the Distributor body itself. Not a big deal, but you're looking at a couple specific parts. I believe that harness is one piece, as well.
Don't let the zillion answers confuse you, there are many ways to do this.
In your opinion, what would be less of a headache. Going with the 4R70W and 94-95 harness and ECU from the craigslist ad I posted or just sourcing an Explorer harness to go with the 4R70W from the craigslist ad and an Explorer ECU I have sourced (basically all Explorer gear)?
I realize both will require modification to work electrically in the 88 Bronco, but you would have to think one would be a little more straight forward and not as cobbled together.
