Wiring harness party

I have a 1991 Bronco with a 302/E4OD in it. I am swapping in a 1991 351W i found with low miles. (going to re seal everything and check all tolerances anyways).

My problem (i think) is that my donor vehicle is a 2wd standard shift. (1991 F250)...

Will my existing wiring harness work with a correct ECM from rock auto? 351w/E4OD ECM...

Old trail recovery prep pic just for fun, was headed out in my 86 to recue a friend with a mangled control arm on his 93.

No need to swap any wiring, use what you already have. Some say to try using the 5L computer to run the 5.8L engine. If it appears to run lean then swap in a comparable year 5.8L computer. If it were me I would go straight to the correct year/engine/trans computer.

Thanks!

This will hold over until i can do something more. (Sniper EFI and Cam/Heads/Intake) just not in the budget right now. Life got expensive lately.
