Need to know a little more as "worked" doesn't really say much.

It will need a Flash Tuner and custom tune but apart from that all should be well.

Intake manifold I would have said 3 months ago from the states but with our dollar being worth as much as an ex Taxi EA right now it isn't worth it.

I'm using a Ford Racing GT40 upper on an explorer lower with GT40P heads on my 347 and it makes a bit over 220rwkw and has run a 13.4 on the 1/4.

Mine was there when I bought it, an odd upgrade considering the mods it had but hey. I still use the 70mm Tickford throttlebody.

Flashtuners are best bought from a tuner.

Easy, speak to either G&D or Bluepower (both site sponsors). They will get the tuning side of things sorted.
