Correct Computer for 302 EFI

I am building a 5.0 L from a 1988 Cougar to go in my 56 F100. I am shooting for the 350 h.p. range and am beginning to wonder what I am going to need for a computer. I would like to put a Mass Air Sensor on it, 24+ lb injectors, roller cam and possibly after market heads. I am wondering what type of computer I am going to need to hook my 5.0 up to. Will a newer Ford computer from a HO Mustang from 89 to 95 work on this set up? Will it "learn" to make the engine run like it should? If a factory computer will not work, where do I get one?

Thanks

George

If I am not mistaken you can have a new chip burned for the factory computer with all of your goodies taken into concideration.

George,
You should really check out this website.

http://www.coolcats.net/tech/index.html

there is a TON of information regarding the 5.OL mustang and cougar engines, differences
between HO and non-HO engines, mass air conversions , computers, etc... If your engine is
a not an HO like a mustang then you will have to change more things then just a computer
and mass air sensor. The mustang HO motor had different heads (E7TE truck heads), a specific roller camshaft, sensors etc..
