Hey everyone. How hard, if possible would it be to convert a 95 5.0 to OBDII? Anyone ever done this before? Could you get the ecu and stuff out of a 96+ explorer 5.0? Any info would be helpful.

i dont think that would work too well.

Really? Are you sure?

It would be a good "project", it's not as simple as a wiring/ECM swap, there are some details to take care off (DIS system, CKP, CMP....)...benefits in performance?.....not much. Other options using the EEC-IV are cheaper and more flexible (Tweecer, PMS,....). IMHO.

Yea I dont know what half of that means so, im thinking it will be a little difficult.

actually i hear some stangs in the 95 model year had the OBDII computers.

95 was the year the started swtiching to OBDII. 95's made later in the model year probably have OBDII. if you want to switch to an explorer ecm you're going to have to consider every value for each sensor is specified for an explorer which maybe completly different than your mustang. I dont know if there would be any benefit to swtiching, other than an easier way to pull DTCs. but you would have to keep in mind that everytime you wanted to pull a code you would be looking under a 96 explorer instead of your stang. in my opinion, i would just leave it alone and keep it OBDI.

Do you have a regular TFI distributor or coil packs?...the only OBD-II 5.0L engine setups are in the Explorer/Mountaineer trucks....
