I have a 2000 Explorer with 5.0L that will be a project in hopefully the near future, I keep getting nagged to do cool stuff to it 
Anyway, I'm intimately familiar with engine tuning on the OEM side in the Marine and Industrial world but only on the GM side of things... For a guy that knows what he's doing what's a good way to get into the ECM of this beast? My future plans probably include a 347 conversion since this thing has some miles on it... I've had it for almost a year but have barely touched it...
I've tried searching but keep seeing things abut generic tunes that look to be mostly shift point changes and whatnot, I want to do the number changes myself...
Probably not going to be an issue for a while, next step is to rebuild the transmission, then install the 4406 transfer case I'm working on getting, then suspension build! I'm just in the research stage on the engine side of things...
Thanks!
