I just did a 4.6 swap on a older fox mustang and I bought a harness from
http://www.thedetailzone.com/ It made the install so easy you wouldnt believe it. Comes with every stitch of wiring that you need for install as far as engine managment. Comes with a beautiful pre terminated fuse panel that the PCM plugs into, then all the wiring to the engine and sensors are numbered and labeled.

What ever you do don't use those E3 plugs. The stock plug or a NGK is about all those engines will tolerate.

It must be the shape of the combustion chamber. All the mod motors that i've read about that put them in took them out. I have a second set of stockers in mine. The next plug change will be NGK.

Just put in what the factory did. I'd hate to see problems pop up with all you're trying to accomplish. If u want some extra power u can get a tuner and some custom tunes. I do my own.

E3s are cheap junk Chinesse made plugs anyway.(Bought one) Modulars seem to like Autolite or Motorcraft plugs the best although some use those fancy iridium plugs. I've always used single platinums.

I've seen some HP improvement using them but it was a small block chevy test mule. The efficientcy of a modular is better and it doesn't like the trick stuff.

well i have been hitting it hard when the wheather permits.. looks like rain for tomarrow and just plain crap for the weekend. however i get the old mount off the frame and it's all ready for when i get my mount which should be in the mail by now.. also got the engine mostly back together.. soon i'll get that cab on and wire it up, however i might put the origional 1994 intake back on it just to get it running since the other intake uses a diferant tune.. once it runs then i will need to get it on a dyno and have the computer re-tuned for my setup.. wich i just found out is gonna cost $1,000.00 just for a flsh and tune... thanks

You can buy a tuner and the software anddo it yourself for less than that.
