Ridge Runner 1,077 Report post Posted August 24, 2021 Swapped an 86 thunderbird 5.0 and aod into a 78 ford pick up in 1987 ,i used Fords wire diagram ,if i remember right 4 wires runs the whole thing from the original wiring harness from the thunder bird . I had to look at it a couple of days when i finally figured out only a few wires ran the motor Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
