I see it's your first post. Welcome to the forum although I'm a newbie as well.
Reading your post it sounds like you want to convert your automatic carbed 5.0 to EFI or run a roots type blower.
But you got to get it started first.
Who is he? Is he a mechanic?
If your mechanic is telling you the computer is no good then start there.
Remanufactured ecm's aren't expensive and they can be rebuilt.
Here's one example from eBay
And here''s a link to a company that rebuilds them.
So your aware in 1985 automatic gt's came with "throttle body fuel injection" (TBI for short). Only 5 speeds were carbed.
I hope this information helps!
