1988 Ford Thunderbird Upgrade - Engine
Question: I am changing out my 5.0 to an HO 5.0. Being that the timing is different, can the computer be swapped out to get the correct timing or replacing the cam is the only way to get correct timing. Is there anything else I need to swapp out also to be able to take full advantage of the HO performance?

Technican: Hi;
You do have to swap out the computer. Also depending on the package that the HO has on it. You might also need to change the engine wiring harness. The exhaust system is also larger on the HO. Most of the time if you put the exhaust sytem that came with the HO up to the catalyst converter, then a muffler shop will be able to run the exhaust al the way back to the bumper. .
Technican: Hi Barry;
Yes it will help. Just make sure you get the wiring harness also. And just as a helpfull hint. After you take the one out and get ready to put the other one in, sit them side by side and double check everything. .
Owner: It's an 87 engine without a MAP and a AOD tranny. So if I get an H pipe for the exhaust that will help. The computer will take care of the timing situation . Are there any other suggestions you recommend for this project?
