OK I have a 2000 Mustang engine on the engine stand and I'm getting all the parts together to put it in my 94. I have searched the forums but most of the swap info I see relates to the explorer motor but my 2000 PI is a windsor. Now I know a romeo is an easier swap but this was a good deal and came complete. $1200 and included flexplate, starter, alternator, pcm & harness (pcm, harness, and coil on plug are to be used on a separate project). I've figured out a lot of the stuff but I have a few questions I'd like to address before I pull the old motor. So far I have picked up a 96 lincoln fuel rail & regulator and I realize I will need a 96-97 throttle cable. Fuel lines I will work out when I get there. I can always fab something up.
My questions are:
1. Will the mustang throttle cable bracket work? And if not will a 96-97 mn12 bracket bolt to the mustang t/b elbow?
2. Will the mustang oil pan work in the MN12 chassis?
3. I will be reusing my 94 exhaust manifolds so will a 96-97 EGR tube connect with the mustang EGR valve? If not will it be close enough that I can cut and weld it to fit?
4. I see mention of swapping a 94-95 timing cover to the explorer motor so all the accessories will bolt up. Obviously not an option with a windsor so I was planning on using the mustang alternator, idler, & tensioner and finding a proper length belt. Will my a/c compressor and ps pump bolt to the block properly?
