The engine/transmission harness is completely different and you would need to swap it over with the donor engine. You will also need the donor's PCM and a compatible transmission.

The big differences are in the PATS, ABS, speedometer and charging system wiring. You will need to move several wires. Best bet is to get a Ford factory Wiring Diagram manual for each vehicle and start comparing. I get mine from "Lorie and Jeff" on eBay.

Aye, Bob steered me also to Lorie and Jeff a few months ago. Great prices and fast shipping! Those manuals are great!
Thanks Bob!
