Hello everyone. I am in the process of swaping an 89 5.0 mustang motor into my 72 Jeep CJ5. I heard the motor run in the car and then the guy took it out as well as the comp and the harness that goes to the motor. The motor and everything is in but my question comes to the wiring. I have no idea on where to even start. The guy I got it from said everything was there to make it run but I have my doubts. It looks like a lot of plugs dont have another plug to go in to. So if anyone could please walk me through this I would be very gratefull. I am pretty clueless when it comes to these cars as I dont have much experience with them.

Well, if you're gonna run EFI, you'll prolly have to get the mustang computer and harness. If you're gonna go carbed, you won't need most of the wiring.

I do have the computer and the harness. What I need to know is how to make it run. and anything else that might be important.

Walking you through it over the internet will take about 17 years. Get yourself a Mustang repair manual that should provide you with a detailed enough explanation of what goes where. It is a relatively uncomplicated process.
