Please turn off your CAPS LOCK. Typing in ALL CAPS denotes shouting.

Why are you specifying only an 88? Why not any other years? And do you want a 49-state 88, or California 88?

I hope no one was hurt in that.

Sorry about the caps..wasn't aware of the shouting bit!!! Actually I just need a body that is compatibale with the wiring harness from my motor! I don't know the difference between a 49-state 88 or california 88. I was pretty banged up..I had my seat belt on. Thanks for asking and responding.

Glad you're doing ok. From the looks of the car you might want to have the motor checked before you install it. Looks like everything got pushed back into the motor.

Trent,
If your car came from California it would have the mass-air meter instead of the speed / density system that the rest of the US had. 1989+, all 5.0's had the mass-air meter.

That would be any aero Fox. The harness plugs right in and you swap sensors over if you are putting the Speed Density stuff in a Mass Air car. I did this when I took all my 88 stuff and put it in an 89.

What are you going to do with your current car-body? Like the quarter windows, seats and stuff?
