5.4 engine questions

Hi

have a 2000 5.4 engine/tranny that want to put in a 50's f100
it has the wiring that comes from the engine that I assumes plugs into an ecm but nothing past the wiring

I understand that the PATS anti-theft system and some of the other electronics can be very frustrating to deal with

called a few places that do aftermarket wiring harnesses to put efi engines in old tin but they don't seem to support this motor

I would really appreciate any advice, suggestions who to call, etc

Thanks!!!
Sheldon

Just get an ecm out of the same type of truck that the engine is out of. Problem solved.

I would use a wiring harness and comp from a 1998 or 97 vehicle, you don't have to worry about the PATS and such then. (yes it can be a PITA to deal with..) Just get a whole wiring harness, most of it will plug right up, although you may have to switch some sensors back to a 98 specific.. Would have to look into that more though, not much has chanegd electronically since 98.
