2v v10 engine and wiring variations

Hey Everybody, i am hoping somebody here will be able to answer a few things for me.

I have a 2005 2v v10 out of an excursion that i am planning on putting in a classic ford.

I have the engine wiring harness, but not the computer or the fuse boxes or other wiring. i plan on running a manual transmission so that means i will need at least the computer from a manual f250/350

so my questions are
1. Are the wiring harnesses different between any of the years between 99-04?

2. Are there any differences between the actual engines themselves, like sensor placement, extra or missing sensors.(not internal engine parts)

3. I have read a little bit, and some people mention immobilizers, do all years between 99-04 come with an immobilizer?

I will ad more when I can think of them lol
thanks in advance.

I believe that all Excursions had PATS "chip keys" if that is what you mean by immobilizer. None of the 2V V10 trucks did.
If I were you I would be looking for 2V truck harness parts either from a manual transmission truck or contact someone like 5Star to see if you can get the auto trans part written out of the tune.

I would go with 2000 or newer the early 99s had differences you don't want to bother with.

MY 05 EX does have a chip key - I'm pretty sure that without that key, the truck would have to be towed.

My understanding is that all the Excursions came this way.

Can't answer any of the other questions. I too am considering a 2v V10 and putting it into one of the larger sedan made during this period.

Just an engine swap. Unless I need to swap in an auto tranny from either an EX or other Ford truck to make it work correctly.

Good luck on your journey. I've subscribed to see what becomes of this.

thanks

PATS yes that what I was thinking of.
It's good to know the trucks don't have that, as I did plan on getting a truck harness.

I know it can be done. A few years back I talked with a guy at a car show. He built an F4 ramp truck for his Model A Roadster Hot Rod that had a 2V V-10.
