Wiring/computer for 2.3 to 5.0 swap

[doublea]

I am a newbie, but have looked for this info and cannot find it. Oh Wise ones, I am going to swap a 5.0 in for my busted 2.3(88 5 Speed), and need to know what wiring I will need beside the wiring on the 5.0 that I am buying, that is from a mustang. Will I also need 5.0 computer? Thank you, and feel free to email me (or post here) with any and all swap info besides what is posted here, tips and need to knows as well. ~DoubleA~ asdickson@hotmail.com

you will need the complete engine wiring harness from the 5.0 and the ECU also and it's harness. you will also need all the engine sensors and solenoids from the 5.0 too including the vacuum sensors and connectors for the other vacuum operated things like the fuel pressure regulator and the EGR valve.

Just look on ebay. There is always a lot of harnesses and computers for a 5.0, and sometimes you are lucky enough to find a complete swap kit. People part those cars out all the time.
