Are you gonna strip the TC? If so, pull.................
Motor
Tranny - hopefully it's the 5-spd
Rearend
Computer
Forget the wiring harness, just repin yours
You'll need to cut off the VAM connector and about 6" of wire to splice into you existing Mustang harness.
If the seats are any good and they're power, you might want to swap those.

Part out the rest and make your money back!

It's much easier to repin than to swap wiring harnesses. Go here for repinning info.........................................

Yes, the rearend is the rear axle. As I said before, you need to read up on basic mechanics. Maybe take an autoshop class at school. Knowledge = power! You have to learn how to crawl before you can run.
