Thanks Broncoman1972 and Broncokak. That helped make up my mine to go for it. Are the two of you running the flashed computer from EFI Guy with no issues?
On April 26, 2014 I fired up my EFIGuy ignited 1998 Ford Explorer engine. I couldn't be happier with the outcome! Installing the harness was probably one of the easiest items on the "To Do" list, I had zero issues. If your contemplating EFI this is in my opinion the best option for you. It was for me.
Just 3 days after this video was taken, my bronco was cruising Moab at the Bronco Safari.

Thanks for posting the video, gives me some inspiration to get mine done.
Do you have any pictures of the throttle lever to cable connection and cable bracket setup. It looks like the cable is pulling 90 degrees off the stock explorer action.

I did my swap last Nov. It's been running perfect ever since I first fired it up. I drive it almost everyday and have had it out on the trails a few times now. Other than the doubling of the horsepower, the other great benefit with this motor is no more heating issues. The motor and C4 trans run at normal temps, where as the carbed 302 would get hot very easily. The newer motor with EFI operates so much more efficiently. I've already forgotten how much of a turd my old 302 was, compared to this one.
I ran the stock Explorer throttle cable and modified the throttle body bracket just a bit. I'm not using the EGR, so I have the throttle body mounted right to the upper plenum. (No EGR 90* elbow) I'm using the stock Bronco pedal, and just adapted a cable to the pedal. I can use a bicycle brake cable for a spare throttle cable. It works with the Explorer throttle body end of the linkage.

Thanks for the kind words guys! Also thank you all for continuing too add tech and fresh ideas.
I do have a pretty slick option for coil packs that I may share in the near future, but I want to get some serious testing time on them first.
