The Detail Zone seems to be one of the better harness/ecu programmer companies. They are now owned by Ron Francis.

do some research into MegaSquirt. Its a stand alone EFI seystem that will run spark and injectors threw mostly stock sensors and from what I understand is a very basic and easy setup. Its all tunable threw a computor so thats one thing you will prolly have to learn or hire out. I looked alot into this system as a backup if i couldnt clean up the stock wiring and use the stock ECU when I did my 4.6 swap. but wiring up a stock system into a older truck is not very difficult just be patiant and label everything when it comes out of the donar car.

I was thinking of a carb'd LS motor for this project, but I think I'll keep it old school
Whats nice about a Carb'd LS, is you can keep most of the Blue oval guys scratching their heads..hahaha Between the exhaust placement and running a distributor up front it's hard to tell it's a Cheby...
If you need some help let me know, My LS2 was one of the best motors I've ever worked with..

I got my Tuning done locally at a performance mustang shop south of houston. it was a SCT custom tune done on a dyno, my handheld will hold 3 tunes. right now i just have a 87 driving/milage tune. im about to go back in for a 93 performance tune and a 93 nitrous tune becouse i just got that installed about a week ago. it was $350 for the first tune, and he sais he will do the others for $100 a piece. plus i bought the tuner used off craigslist for $100, unfortunatly it had diesel tunes instead of mustang tunes when i got it so i had to delete them and get a custom.
i used a police interseptor ECU which does NOT have VATS. I was actually able to run the truck for a long time without a tune it just shot alot of codes. it drove fine thow for a long time untill i was able to get the tune.
also Edlebrock offers a carb 4.6 intake that i read alot about and its sposed to be really nice. MSD i believe makes the box to control everything els when you do the swap to carb.
