Engine Swap
Excuse me if I’m posting in the wrong place, I spent some time looking for something related without success so here I am.
I have a 1995 F250 with a 460 engine that is no good so I found a 460 that is almost exactly the same and only 52,000 in the motor. The problem is it is an 88 and they did not have a crankshaft positioning sensor but now that it has a 95 wiring harness it runs like total doodoo, OBD11 says the crankshaft sensor has a bad circuit which makes sense because there is nothing to plug it into. So to make it work I have to change the timing cover. Once I do that will it work and/or will the other sensors fail because the brain isn’t compatible with the 88 stuff. Thank you for any response you can give me. I hope my question was through enough. Everyone have a great day

Everything induction, electronic, electrical, sensor etc from the '95 should have been transferred over to the "new" motor. IF it's at all different. Clearly you need the crank sensor. What else was different?
