This has been a pima swap 90 motor 5.0 and AOD into 85 f150 5.0 Aod what a joke
ok after new top end gaskets and cleaning no piston movement in the cly (no marks either) pulled timeing cover so it could be changed to the 85s realy bad gears and chains so new ones going in but hey the PLUG AND PLAY MOTOR is almst ready to drop in
now has anyone used a 90 boster and m/c on a 85 i saw a pick of a 86 some where on here and it looked like they used one on theres and yes I did the parts number and they are diff but I have found that sometimes doesnt mater so if ya have done it what did it take Thanks again people

I used a booster/MC combo from a 1990 F-250 in my 1985 F-250. The booster bolt pattern was the same so it dropped right in. All I had to do was get some brake line adapters to get my 85 lines to attach to the 90 MC. The adapters cost me less than $5 for the pair. I'm sure this would work for the F-150 as well.

One thing to note, while the booster bolt pattern was the same, the MC bolt spacing was different. I originally tried to use the 90 booster with my 85 MC and the 2 front bolts on the booster were a little too far apart to accept the older MC. As long as you use a matching combo, you should be fine.

My 85 didn't have any wires going to the MC so I just left the plug on the newer MC empty. I cant recall if I have a plug going to the distribution block, but if I should I'm sure it's still there.
