Default Engine Swap Question

Hi all new to the forums and and a few questions.

Here is the issue from the start.
I own a small shop in Tucson AZ a friend of mine inherited a 96 mustang 3.8 he decided that he didnt want a fancy convertible Taurus. So when his grandma crashed her 99 town car he got the 4.6 out of it we told him to pull every thing so we have the compleate engine wiring harness ECU transmission drive shaft Ect.

Getting the driveline in and working is not an issue the question is how to get the car to work flawlessly.

Is there a wiring harness conversion available? So i may "plug in" the car to the engine ecu or will i have to cut and splice the body harness?

In short you will need the complete wiring harness out that car from the ecu to the engine. The 4.6L out the Lincoln, while similar to the 4.6L in the Mustang GT, it is a little different as far as the harness, ecu, etc.

You will also need the shocks/struts for a 4.6L Mustang GT.
