i'm in on one! and likely gonna do a second in the near future. i'll have to have you supply the harness but i have pcm. this will be for my son's 55 f-100 i talked to you about....
Sorry guys, I've been neglecting the board. I've been really busy between my day job, race weekend, and working on these harnesses.
Sort of a broad question but how much of my existing '89 mustang EFI components on my Bronco could be re-used if any? Are and of the sensors interchangeable?
Yes it will work with a manual trans, I simply disable all of the auto trans functions in the PCM when I flash it.
As for Mustang EFI parts interchanging with the Explorer setup, it gets tricky. There are a lot of variables. But the short answer is I would run all Explorer components.
O2's will work just fine as long as they are 4 wire sensors.
If you are running the 96-98 Explorer setup you can use the Mustang 19# injectors. The Explorer injectors are said to have a better spray pattern and are supposed to be more precise though.
As far as other sensors go, many could me made to work, the problem is most of them have different plugs from the Mustang stuff. It wouldn't make much sense to hack up a good Mustang harness just to use the plugs for the Explorer setup. With the Mustang stuff getting harder and more expensive to find you'd be better off selling it as a whole and using the cash from it to purchase the Explorer stuff.
It really just depends on what people are willing to pay. FeeBay seems to be commanding top dollar lately. I've even seen guys asking $300 for an A9L on Craigslist. I sold one a year ago on Craiglist for $150, only took 2 days, 50 E-mails, and 30 no-shows.
You can probably get realistic pricing in the classifieds here or over on Corral.net
FWIW I have a complete 91 Mustang 5.0 engine, PCM, and harness listed locally for $700 that hasn't had much interest.
I bought the project for my son & I to build 2 1/2 years ago and we just now rolled the Exploder into the garage last Saturday to get the motor out. 3 days later the motor is still sitting tight in the explorer.
