I am now dropping a 302/AOD tranny from an 85 Lincoln into my '55 Ford and where can I get a main wiring harness? I have the complete engine and tranny with existing wires but I need the computer connection harness.

I also will have an original V8 and tranny from my '55 for $350 or so and it is in good running order as I've been driving it everyday. 3 Speed tranny.

I am not looking to make a profit just passing on a good engine. I live in Michigan.

 

I think Ford Racing Performance Parts carries the wiring for later models engines into older chassis. Check out http://www.fordracing.com/performanceparts for their products. I know there are other places that have them, but Ford is the first that comes to my mind.

Dont need the main wiring unless you want to use the cruise control, a/c, PB, PDL or any other power devices. For instance on my 77 302/AOD...I am using the ezwiring harness with just the basics for now. Will have the complete hookup within a couple of days.

The two prior posts beat me to the punch.. Defnitely ezwiring.com is the place to go.

 

I did this exact swap in a '50. I used a Painless 18 circuit harness for chassis and took the stock harness apart for the computer part. I bought a wiring diagram from Helm to figure out which was which. I spliced them together at the LH fenderwell. If you send me your Email I will send you 2 Word documents on what I did. Mounted the ECM in the RH kick panel like the Lincoln. ECM does not control cruise control and does not need a VSS signal for this engine.
