svt pcm in a cougar?

i'm picking up a cougar and i'm new to them. not sure if this has been discussed or not? i plan on dropping my friends svt engine in. i'm assuming the wiring harness' are the same between the cougar and contour

Re: svt pcm in a cougar?

ya every thing is the same as long as the svt contour engine your putting in the cougar has the same fuel type so you dont have to get a new wiring harness and you can just use the one off the cougar engine

Re: svt pcm in a cougar?

sorry,i worded my question kinda wrong. i'm more interested in knowing if the svt ecu will work in a 99 cougar.

Re: svt pcm in a cougar?

needs to be the same year, engine, transmission and fuel sytem for it to work.

cougars never used PATs 1 I believe its called. They you the PATs 4 which is the one that requires 2 keys to program yourself. So you can not use a RJL1 SVT PCM in a cougar at all ....

Re: svt pcm in a cougar?
