Trinidad and Tobago V8 projects

[roadracer7]

Cams, heads, pistons stuff like that. I have a Eunos Roadster I might consider swapping a 5.0 into and i'm new to American engines.
If I go boost what are my ecu options? Can they be chipped or must I go with a standalone?
Can an 8.8 irs diff be sourced in trini? Or better off just getting one from america?

will post a list of parts that's available from David Vizard soon.

yes an 8.8 Ford differantial can be sourced in T & T.
