Hey Guys,

I'm wonderinf if there is a way to use junk yard parts to do this conversion, rather than forking up 700.00 or to ford or jegs. Is there a better way?

Among the parts listed is:

New over lay harness
Air box lid
mas air meter
ECM

Thank you,

-Justin

 

Ive done alot of searches... Looks liek for me and the $ the Ford Kit is best... Man thats some cash though. I did email one site to see if they can make a similar conver. kit for less money. Does anyoen have the kit and what do yo think of it?

 

If you can find a donor vehicle with the computer, wiring harness and alll the MAF components, it should work. Do a search for "MAF conversion" in the full forum, I found alot of info that way.

 

I did a mass air conversion on my '87. Search my posts, and try to find it...the date was probably late october/early november 2003.

 

What are the advantages to doing this (sounds expensive) swap?

 

Ford Racing Parts kit from Summit is $629 and was a breese to install. I love mine.

 

never mind I searched instead. its all about the ponies

 

I just did this swap on my 95. I got the kit used for 400 bucks. Basically you need a mustang computer. The overlay hardness in their kit makes it a snap. You can't use parts from a MAF truck because it's OBD-II. You can search my posts in this forum over the last month or so, I talked a lot about the swap in my own thread.

 

^ The first MAF trucks were not OBD-II. '94 and '95 should still be OBD-I, but I want to say that they were all with the E4OD automatic.

 

I don't believe they are OBD-I, but I may be wrong. I don't think ford would make an MAF truck OBD-1 when they knew II was coming or the had the tech for it at the time in 94-95. I'm gonna say all MAFs are OBD-II but i'm not 100% positive. All MAF trucks were autos except cali emissions and 96 trucks.

 

Im thinking they called it EEC IV but there I could too be wrong. OBD II is some government BS ? I think Just as I belive that On Star stuff is. Yall have seen the movies where they know where you are and if they are looking for you they shut off the car and lock the doors? You tell me!

 

The '94's and '95's are EEC-IV still (even the MAF ones), EEC-V (OBD-II compliant) did not appear until '96. They had the technology and the know how to make an EEC-IV MAF computer, that's what they had been putting in the mustangs since '89 - all the computers are the same, just with different programming and maps for different vehicles, so it would be very easy for Ford to make a MAF truck computer off the EEC-IV platform.
