projectresto83...you can probably find all of them if you do a google search. And on the Quarterhorse website there is a link somewhere that has a good amount (if not all) the codes for Fords. Curious, why do you ask for the codes?

I'm not asking for OBD2 trouble codes...... I'm asking for the ID for the ECU...such as the A9L, A9P and A9M used on the 5.0.........

I took what he said, Why I ask for the codes.... as why I am asking for trouble codes..... sorry if I sounded like an ***...not tryin to....it was 340 in the morning after I got woke up by the damn dog....
I am asking for the ID codes so I can learn as much as possible about the 4.6 setup....what will work with what and what won't, which computers go with what years and what motor setups...... I like to expand my knowledge on a subject I am about to dive head first into. I am going to be dropping a 4.6 into my 83 starting next spring. I am doing as much research as possible before I start.

Your best bet is to get the engine harness and PCM from your donor vehicle...

And you are thinking way too much into what I am asking. I don't care about the actual tuning of the computers. Thanks for the info though! I will figure that out for myself once I purchase a tuner.
The first pic with the part numbers is a start....thanks BUT
For example with the 5.0.....
A9L is a 5.0 Mass air standard transmission computer
A9P and A9M are 5.0 Mass air automatic transmission
X3Z is a 93 Cobra computer...
Catch my drift???

Ok, now that I look into it a little more it doesn't seem as easy as I thought picking one computer from another it seems...
Is what I am reading right.......the code changes during the year/model just from them being reflashed? I know the mod motor ECU's are not as "universal" as the 5.0 computer is...and i know specific keys go with specific computers and what not....

With what I am going to be doing with my project having a complete donor vehicle would be my overall best option because not only am I doing a motor swap I am also swapping the interior and the whole body harness. Everything is going to be SN/new edge except the body itself.
