If you don't get all the electronics off the car it came out of you may not be able to get it started. Another route is Ford Racing sells a control pack for the 5.4L 4V supercharged engine with a manual transmission that I think will work for you. M-6017-54SC. That is quite an engine, should make a great swap.


Best of Luck
