Thank you for the feed back!
I spent a little time with the VE tables last night and hope to fire up the motor and give it another go today.
I will also be connecting my lm2 wideband very soon.

Hello David......
Haven't seen you around lately. Have you been able to make any headway with the Ford?

Re: Ford 289 surges and coughs
Ken,
For the past 2 weeks my attention has been drawn to my other project.I have a lexus is300 that I'm installing turbos. Saturday morning I was able to wire the analog output from my LM2 to the ms relay board, but the outside temp was close to 100 deg so I went back in the garage and turbos. I have been reading alot on VE and spark advance tables and finally feel comfortable making changes. I did set the req_fuel back to the calcd value and increased the WUE value 60% and was able to find a steady idle, but will go back to surging after the warm up. From what you guys have suggested and what I have read I just need to spend some quality time adjusting VE table settings. Thanks again for all the help and I'm sure I will be posting a few logs and asking for opinions in the next few weeks.

Re: Ford 289 surges and coughs
Made some progress today. Increased the VE values under 1500 rpm and happy to report achieved a better idle, even after WUE completed. I was also able to measure the AFR which confirmed a lean mixture.
