86 engine swap
I am currently swapping the engine in my 86 F-150. I am taking the original efi 302 out and putting in a efi 302 out of a 89 E-150. I was told that i will have to change all my sensors on the motor from my 86 to the 89. Can anyone please tell me specifically by name which sensors i will need to change. Also i am taking the pumps and brackets off the 86 motor(which has v-belts) and putting them on the 89 (Which originally had a serpentine belt).I will be using the 86 pumps, brackets and belts on the 89 motor. My question is will this work? I know these questions may be dumb but it has been bothering me all week. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

if you use all the front peices off the 86 and put them on the 89 it will work fine, the crank pully/harmonic balancer will also swap (or should)If the 89 engine uses a split plenum intake like the mustangs i belive you will need the computer/wire harnesses out of the 89 vehicle to go with your engine along with its sensors. this is about it, if i left something out someone will jump in!

I don't know about the sensers. but unless you are after the factory stock look the srpentine belt is better (one adjustment}. If your sure you don't want them I would love to have them for a 351w Ijust got to replace the 300six in my 83f250.
