stay efi and go to the wrecking yard and get all of the 5.8 efi stuff. you will need the upper/lower intake, distributer from efi 5.8 as well. you can still use the efi 5.0 harness and injectors. get a 5.8/C6 ecu then check out Ford Fuel Injection for any wiring questions.

you will also need a flexplate from an 89 crownvic running a 5.8/AOD.

trust me staying efi will be easier and better in the long run. the gain in mpg with efi over carb is totally worth it.
