Before I go buying an engine and later realizing I made a mistake, here's the swap question. Will this particular HO work in my Thunderbird? I understand it's extremely similar to the Mustang GT HO and was the first of it's kind to be used. I've researched it and it does have EFI and all the goodies of an HO engine. Were there any major changes between 87 to 93 to the HO engine? I know the intake will be a problem with hood clearance or maybe not. As for other parts like the AC condenser or the location of accessories, any other forseeable problems? Another thing I discovered was that this particular engine had other various sensors like ATC (Air Temperature Control) that I will likely be omitting and it will need to be converted to MAF from MAP.
Most of my info came from this site:

I will likely end up with a Mustang GT wiring harness with an A9L computer. Will this work out as well? Thanks for all your input and other helpers. I will provide my plans as needed if questions about them arise.
