jay,
There are quite a few internet sites that have tuning infofor both the Ford 
EEC-IV and the GM computers...  I think as far as performance potential and 
tuneability, either one would do.
The biggest stumbling block will be sensor compatability...  On the ford 
motor, if you run the GM computer, you may have to fabricate adapters and 
trigger rings for crank sensors, or if it's in a distributor, adapt a GM 
distributor to the ford motor for ignition module compatibility and 
vice-versa.  Might want to look at availability of sensors etc before 
deciding on the computer.
