1987 Mustang 5.0 Cheap Mass Air Conversion

O-NoA5-O · 08-14-2008

I recently purchased a 2nd 87 5.0 coupe and I'm looking for the cheapest way to convert this car to mass air. it's currently speed density with a gt-40 intake that i'm trying to work some bugs out in. any used parts that i could pick up would be great!

Cheapest way is to go to the junkyard and grab the computer, mass airflow sensor, wiring harness, and air intake hoses off of a 1988 (Califorinia) or 1989 (all 50 states) 5.0 Mustang with mass-air. Just make sure it matches the transmission you have and you should be good.

You can use the ones of the later cars, but 1990+ cars had airbags, which resulted in some changes to the harness, you'd have to do some re-pinning using one of those.

That's about the cheapest way to do it, you could also check with MPS and Prestige Mustang for everything you need.
