But i dont really know. And some others will chime in with more info.

You need to have a HO Mass Air computer to make this work. I doesn't necessarily have to be a Mustang, but it does need to be HO. The computer will plug into the truck harness, but you'll need to do several pin changes at the connector for it to run. Lots of good information here, including pin outs for common computers.
