Title: scorpio electrics
Post by solarpanel on Mar 10^th, 2006, 9:00pm

i know that the engine looms on these cars are all different but does anyone know if the electrics inside the car share the same basic loom,wireing to ecu behind dash/wireing to fuseboxes that sort of thing.
i would have thought that good old ford would have put a basic harness in all of these cars and then just plug in the looms that that model needed,say if one car on the production line is 24v and the nexts a 2.0 etc.
so does anyone know for sure as i want to do a swap 2.3 to 2.9 24v.

There are differences and though I dont know myself previous threads have indicated this is a major undertaking, its not just an engine replacement job
