TBI is nothing more than an electronic carb and it suffers many the same problems carbs do.. flooding being the biggie. Keep the Ford truck EFI system, salvage a computer and wiring harness from an early 5.0 truck with a manual or C6 automatic, put an SD friendly cam in the motor like the 5.0HO cam, Explorer cam, or one of several available from the aftermarket, and you'll have 250-300hp that will run on any angle including upside down.
