    will a F-150 5.0 HO computer work on my towncar

    I can get a deal on a f-150 5.0 HO EEC with cruise. I was wondering if it would work with my converted HO in my Lincoln.

    Not well. It's not a HO EEC. The mark 7 and mustang ECM's are darn cheap.

        94+ Truck 302 used HO cam. The same cam was used in the Explorer and all 302/351 trucks.

            I was just commenting on the cams, not the computer compatability

              Ah. So then the EEC he prolly is getting a deal on is a lopo firing order then correct? OR it's incompatable with the vic EEC-IV. Either way it won't work...

                The EFI system is also a bit different. Single O2 sensor, some other wierdness.

                  Truck ECM is batch fire, while HO and non-HO ECMs are sequential fire.
                  what this means is, Batch fire has 2 injector drivers. One for the left bank of fuel injectors and one for the right bank.
                  Sequential has an injector driver for each individual injector.

                  Consequently, there is no firing order for the injectors from any of the ECMs. there is only igntion firing order, which must match the camshaft opening the valves at the correct time.

                    Well, I guess from all the info...No, it won't work. Get a Mark 7 one from Scott.

                      So essentially all 4 on each bank fire at the same time? That seems awfully ineficcient.

                        correct... all 4 fire at one time

                        Left bank, right bank. Most truck engines on EEC-IV are like that, they didn't have to meet as strict emissions requirements in the 80's and 90's.

                              at low RPMs it is inefficent but at high RPMs when the regular sequential injectors would be firing most of the time the batch fire is pumping about the same amount of fuel
