There is a 88 Crown Vic with a 5.0 and fuel injection for $100 and i was thinking about buying it to put it in my 82 GT. Since mine is carbed. Does anyone know if this is possible ? Also with my tranny and bellhousing work for the 88 motor ? I got told they are the same exact motor expect the crown vic has a different cam. Any info would be great.

Also what wiring harness would i need ?

That Vic motor is essentially an '86 Mustang HO spec motor, with cast pistons and a wimpy cam, but it is still a roller. If you are going to use it, upgrading to E7's(check p to v clearence), an '87 upper intake annd tb, and an '86 and up Mustang HO cam. BTW, the cams that came in '82-'84, and '85 CFI Mustangs that is commonly reffered to as the "Marine Cam" is actually from a '72 351W Torino, the "Marine Cam" was considered, but never made production in a Mustang.
