Computer / Engine Confusion

Hi all,

I am having an issue tracking down correct parts for my truck ever since it developed the common surging idle.
It is a 1990 F150 4X4 5.0 EFI
Calibration Number 0-53E-R00 (This keeps getting me the wrong parts from ford, they don't fit / fix code errors etc)

However apparantly at some point in its life it was swapped / bored out / new cam / heads / MAF conversion

So finally I checked the CPU stuff and it doesn't correspond with my vehicle

The computer pinout now has number E72B–14A624-AA
(Instead of FOTF-12A650-T1A or FOTZ-12A650-TA which is what Ford shows for this Calibration number)

Actual CPU is E8TF-2C018-AA
The local ford store has been nothing but worthless so I am hoping someone can point me in a direction to track this down (to a specific car / year, I secretly hope it is from a mustgang) so I can figure out what parts to get.
Thanks
Joe

Go to fordfuelinjection.com and click on "calibration codes"...it's just off to the left side of the page.

if the ecm in there now starts with E7 than i'm pretty sure it cant be a mustang ecm. i'm sure that mustang only started putting MAF in the cars in 89.

i know for sure that in 1987 (E7 means '87) the mustang was not MAF.
