OK here is the deal. I but a ford 3.8 v6 out of a mustang with all the wires
harness from head lights to tell light . Into my 41 ford.I removed the keyless entry and the anti theft system. The computer is in and I think all the ground wires are grounded good. Plus engine to frame and to the body grounds are good.
Had everything working but the engine will not start. I'm also using the gas tank out of the mustang. the kill switch in back is there and working .It will turn over and is getting gas.
Back to the engine area, I'm also using the fuse boxes . I've got power to the
coil pack ,Power to one of the four wires in the connector ,so I changed the coil pack from a running car and still not starting. Have removed the wire harness
from the car and checked all the connections all the wires that had been cut were solider back.
So have anyone else done a engine swap like this . Its been a pain in the butt.
Any help will be appreciated.
