Id stay away from the PS fords. Go IDI if you go. They are much more relaible and they have better lower end torque. the 93.5-94 IDI turbo units are good units also.
How does that 8.1 handle and such?? Is it lighter than the old Gen IV BBC engines?? I know it makes more power, but would it really be worth the headache of the computer controled units?? (big brother is watchin you!!!)
