- 2003 xlt v8
I recently bought a 2003 4.6 v8 XLT Explorer. Anyways bought it with a nearly stuffed engine. So had the idea to put the Australian Boss 260 double overhead cam engine into it to future proof the vehicle, as I love this vehicle and wish to keep it for the foreseeable future.
The gearbox will bolt right up, have to space the starter 10mm to match the flex plate as the 4.6 is 6 bolt the 5.4 is an 8 bolt and need to build a set of headers as its quite close on the driver’s side (right hand side here) with the steering going through. Everything else has been pretty much been a straight swap, mounts, accessories, the works.
Now to the problem, I need a wiring diagram and plug pin output input diagram for the CPU. I have a new computer and harness for the new engine but need to get everything talking to each other do not want to have half a dash working. I like my accessories and want them to continue to work.
Have found a standalone harness for the new engine which is an option.
Can anyone point me to the best threads to read on the forum?
found a thread with a code and password but its no longer working.
any help much apreciated
