From the liittle that Ive found out about fool injection, several have said its easier to use the same year harness as what the car is. 89 chassis - 89 harness or 93 chassis use the 93 harness. HTH

i have had friends do this with there hondas. but all of there different motor's are all so similar to the next and it makes it an easy task to do. now as far as what you have, i hhad a 92 4 cyl. vert. now the motor in the car is very complex. i did alot of research on that motor cuz of thing's i wanted to to do it. there is a huge difference in the electrical and i dont see it being an east task to repin anything, and that's even if it's possible. now i have the haynes repair manual for 79-93 mustang and 79-86 capri. it has the wiring diagram's in the back and your welcome to borrow it and see if you cant figure out what you need. i'll take a look in it tonight and i'll see if it's possible or at least worth it. but right now i have to head out to new port nowhere to pick up some stuff. good luck though. but your gonna save yourself alot of time and headack by just getting the harness. and someone corredt me if im wrong, but i dont think it would matter if your motor was speed density at one point. even if the motor came out of a t bird you should still be able to use the mustang harness and go ahead and use the mass air set up and harness and everything should plug right in and run.

Ok lets try this from a diff perspectiv .
if i were to inatall this 89 5.0 and harness in my car . dont i kneed to just ground and power the harness for the engine to run . i can figure out whitch wire is the fuel pump and toggle switch it temp untill i tie it into the harness .
