So would it be easier to get a harness and figure it out or will i have to buy a motor and everything together

 

Harness

 

the engine its self is not a factor here, it is everything that attatches to the engine, you need harnesses, sensors and things like that.

google it, lots more info on this swap in mustang forums.

 

I understand that it needs sensors but i was curious if the old motor may not have the correct holes to put the new sensors in?

 

'96 has three oxygen sensors, yours had one.

 

Just asking out of ignorance here, but would it not be easier to take the newly installed engine back to a pre-computerized ignition and carb set up than to go through with the electrical nightmare? I have thought about retro fitting my 4.9 to mechanical and carb. I'm sure that there are certain laws about this, but my question is about the ability, costs, and difficulty of the retro fit. It would seem to me that if local laws didn't prevent it, that this would be the easiest way to do the motor swap, and probably cheaper than putting the computer and all the sensors in, drilling and tapping the holes, chasing the wires, and getting them into the correct points in the harness.

 

Sure it's easy, but you don't see me swapping my CD player for an 8 track either.

 

So we now know that the 96 had 3 oxygen sensors and a crank trigger sensor are there any other sensors

 

Pick up a Haynes and read it. It's what I used to wire fuel injection into my carbureted S10. Everything you want to know is in there.

 

Can you mail me one sean cause im a baller on a budget!!!
