I used this guy, had lots of good info. http://www.lt1swap.com/ He has what you need for the LSx side of the harness. the Ford part is what sucks. You need to ask yourself if you want the OEM Ford gauges. If not, remove everything you dont need. There are a lot of wires in a fox Mustang.

Thanks man that should make it a lot eaiser for me. And I'm told I should take the cluster out of my wrecked camaro for an easier install and more accrute gauges. Did you have the 5 lug converison done? Does the front spindles of 94_95 mustang work on the aje k member?

on your aje k-member......did you get control arms with fox balljoints? if you did you will need to put the spindle on the BJ(i said BJ haha sorry) and put a .330 spacer(washers work if needed) on top then put the nut on to compensate for the diff spindles. IF you dont have the control arms yet just order arms with the 94-95 joints in them and you wont have to worry about spacers at all.

I really Frankensteined mine. I got the AJE k-member, used the 93 control arms, replaced the ball joints with 94+ style, and replaced the control arm bushings with poly. I used the stock struts and put UPR coil overs on them.
