We have an 1991 Areostar auto. 4.0 going in an 87 Ranger W/5 speed. The donor is gone and we didn't save the computer. To be clear we are using the 5 speed trans. Also we found that our 2.9 had a computer for a 3.0 Taurus/Sable And if anything it seems to be like a performance upgrade. Is there...

Pulled the computer (ECM) and it has 3.0 Taurus or Sable only HF printed on it. Ok? What is it doing in a '87 Ranger with a 2.9? Is it some sort of performance or milage modification? Any help out there?
