Excuse my ignorance, but I just scored a fuel injection from a 1994 t-bird HO to put on my 351W. But it didn't come with the wiring harness or computer. Where can I get these. I know painless makes a harness but which one do I need. How much are computers?

FMS makes a harness as well, which is what I used Part# M-12071-A50. The computers out of Mustangs seem to be the most popular and widely supported. Youll need to get one off Ebay or from a junkyard. The computer you will want is code A9L from a manual tranny equipped car, or A9P from an auto car. Either one will work with either setup though since none of the Fox body Mustangs came with a computer controlled transmission.

You know you need a new lower intake manifold to make that work on a 351w right? Then you also need an adapter plate from BC broncos to mate that 351w lower to the T-bird upper.

Thanks, No I didn't know this. Does BC broncos carry both the adapter and lower intake?

All you need to know about Ford Fuel injection and harnesses: http://www.fordfuelinjection.com/

You get the fuel pump? If not BBK make an inline unit.

NAPA has computers as well.

Here's my EFI write up on a 351W using a 1991 Mustang harness cleaned of smog stuff and an A9L computer:

No I dont believe they carry the lower intake, but I have one for sale if you are interested. I just put an Edelbrock lower and upper on my 351w. BBK does make a good inline fuel pump, but if you just want one from a local parts store, just ask for the high pressure pump from an 89 F150.
