Nothing to it. You will have to use a 95 5.9 module. Buy a harness or run the wires for the two extra injectors. You will need the converter from the 5.9 or the weight kit from M.P. I assume it is auto. Buy some injectors for a 95 as the ones from the 99 will not plug into your harness. Old 5.0 mustangs use the same style injector as your 95. Use the 5.9 balancer......drop in hole. You will need to buy a fan shroud or run electric fans. And if you can't find a 5.9 module a 5.2 Module will run a 5.9 great. Most people do not agee but I have run my 5.9 for years on a 5.2 module with 0 problems. If the sensors on your 5.9 will not plug in to the 95 harness just use the sensors from your 3.9. Good luck.
