Does anybody on here know if an 86 can be changed over to Mass Air Flow, is there a kit you can get. Also is the 86 a roller motor, like the newer 87 to 93.

Thx Wiliam

 

86 is a roller motor, just uses flat top pistons and the E6 heads aren't as good as the E7's you find in 87-93, and yes you convert to maf the same way as 87/88, you just need a maf meter, the maf coversion harness (you could easily make your own, i did) and of course you need a maf computer.

 

As said above, yes you can do the MAF swap.
You need the Harness, MAF meter, and EEC (aka computer).

Now the MOST common EEC is the A9L computer, but you don't necessarily need a "A9L" you have different varieties to choose from...
By fallowing this chart in the link I provide there is different years and models that will work for you.

Ford Fuel Injection » EEC Program Codes

Scroll down to the 5.0 Section, and match all that are lets say Manual, 5.0, and MAF and write down the EEC codes and head to the junk yard and see what you can find.

Good luck.

 

sorry for the hijack but then according to that in my 1990 2.3 Mustang with auto tranny the eec code should be FC1 not 8CC. Is the 8CC one for a manual tranny or will bith work with the auto tranny

 

Just curious why do you want to swap?

 

your e6 heads are just as good e7s.E6s small combustion chamber bumped compression up all most a point only thing you can do with e7s you can`t with 6s is bigger valves 6s have heart shape chamber with does not allow room.only diff on heads is chamber thats it.

 

Well put it this way a A9L is for a Manual car, but the A9P will work with Manual and Auto....

So in your case the FC1 is a Auto only, and the 8CC is for both I "ASSUME"...
