TBI conversion
Would it be practical to convert a 300 on a stock manifold to TBI if i could get the whole 2 injector setup off of a 305 or a 350? I'm not looking for more power or better mileage, i'm looking to be able to run better in off-camber situations and TBI seems the most straight forward (not to mention cheap). Will the TBI run as a stand alone so I could use a DSII ignition? Are there any weird sensors for the TBI that i might not think of?

I've heard of GM TBI systems being hell. i own one unfortunately and deal with its pain. it can be done, but i believe TBI systems work in coordination with the distributor as well. if this is true, then you may be out of luck unless you can rig up a chevy dist to work with a Ford.
save yourself a major headache and go for something that works like a Mulit-port EFI conversion like the one i recently finished:
before:
after:
took me 3 weeks and less than $200. lots of rigging, thought and sweat was involved, but lemme tell you it was definetley worth it. she runs smoother, quciker, and wastes less gas.

Excellent job 1987LTDmasta, looks great! 
How much stuff (sensors, wiring, etc.) from the feedback carb system were you able to reuse with EFI? Some day if my carb starts giving me fits I want to do the same swap.
