Yes, I'm leaving as much as possible on the new engine at the mo, with old ecu.
Air mass meter in intake pipe (with the two spirals in it's separate channel for measuring) is of different outer shape because of the diameters of the pipe and airfilterbox. Will swap manifolds as well if nessesary, it is still on the old engine and look if there's any tempsensor I missed. (hardly, because all was marked!) Tried several times to relearn the ecu, and it did. It went better after a few miles. The exhaustsystem is untouched , exept for a new O2 sensor of equal typenumber by ford. If there are anymore pointers I'll let you know.
