What makes a 1998 different

[mickey]

I've been looking up parts for my 1998 gt and some listings will say 1996-1997 what makes the 1998 different? If some one could point me in the direction of an article that explains all the difference that would be much appreciated.

The little I know: Exhaust piping is different, fuel mapping is different.

Stupid fuel tank (iirc) is a year specific goof. Either tank, or hat...its something like that. Someone will chime in to correct me

That makes sense because I was looking up fuel pumps.

Fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel mapping, clock pod, center console, exhaust hangars.

Is a 1998 like a 1999 or is it completely by itself?

 

[96blak54]

Im thinking by itself. I know only what ive read and thats not much....hope it helps

iirc the 98 had 225 hp? 10 more than 94-97

Its by itself....
[MENTION=9133]Tally_4.6[/MENTION] has it right... she is in the 98 club

Its like a rare form of herpes, its cool cause its unique but its still burns when you pee

Now you know how us 94-95 owners feel...we are always by ourselves in the parts lists ...if we even appear at all. You are a redder headed stepchild I guess.

So with the tanks what years can we swap to? 96-97 only or all like a 94-97? Figure need the tank, neck, sending unit and pump bracket?

And harness

since I'm currently doing my tank I was told in the middle of 98 production Ford decided to experiment with newer tank sending units, filler necks with overflow, and different size tank grommet/donut. You can check the build date or look under the car and find out which one you have.

Do you have the build date windows/cutoffs?

Just went thru this when I was sold a 98 chassis harness (told it was a 97) to rewire my 97........... Rear fuel harness AND chassis harness AND ECM pinning is different:

97 vs 98 rear fuel harness connector on the chassis side:

ECM pin difference:
