I’m new to Ford engines I have a 1995 5.0 ho motor and I would like to upgrade to a 347 stroker? Will the 5.0 intake manifold efi system work? Will the computer need to be reflashed?

The intake manifold would be on the small side for that application but it would work.

Your computer cannot be "flashed" but it can be chipped, piggy-backed, or replaced with something else entirely.

Currently, mine is chipped. It runs good but it would run even better with something designed and manufactured in this century.

Being in California you prolly will not be doing much to that car.
Looked into what you can and cannot do to keep the environmental zealots at bay?

Motor is in a swapped ranger off road truck so I’m not worried about smog etc…

Ok I’ve seen the Fitech has a fuel injection system that is a little more state of the art that I can put on there
