yeah it runs.ive been driving it for a year now.one of my friends used to own it back in 03 and has changed hands a bunch since then.and no one knows anything about this motor.im kinda stumped on this one.it has all mustang brackets on the motor but the intake isnt stamped with the h.o under the plate on top,and its running the regular 302 firing order.ive been stumped for awhile and it dont have any ***** either.and one of my friends bought a 87 gt,and it had a 1990 3.0 taurus computer with a hypertech chip running it.

Default computer

if your car is and 87 and your computer is an E8 that means 88. so its out of an 88 or newer ford vehicle. any good parts guy at your local parts store should be able to help you identify your iac and quite possibly cross reference your computer. but if your gonna put a carb setup on it the i wouldnt even worry about trying to figure out what efi parts need fixin.

I think the S in E8S is 1988 T-Bird/Cougar. "A" is for big car such as Crown Vic, TownCar, Etc.
