I have a 66 Mustang, great body, no engine. I also have a 1990 Mercury Grand Marquis, V-8. My Mustang was a 289 car to begin with. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the GMarquis motor would work in my car, if I took any electronics off.
Thanks in advance.

Hmmm lets see... I assume here you have the entire GM as a donor; you could do a little self education and do a complete swap including the electronics.
Spend a little time with it and have a great sleeper that would get you 23 mpg...
Or you could scrape off all the electronics go to a carb.. be on here alla time with questions and be happy with your 13 mpg.
Nah... dont do it. Sell the GM for parts.. find a rusted out donor pony with a 289 setup.

I agree... Just DO it.
And yes, they use the GT stuff.. and the setup for the GM is summat different IIRC.
But Close. Once you get the thng set up, it wouldnt be a BIG deal to switch
