well if its an xf, its somewhere around the 1986 model, so, you're about 10 years too late to worry about darn ADRs...but like stu says if you want to run an aftermarket ECU on it, then, a very very very expensive emissions test will be in order.
personally, if you're going to keep the old 250 crossflow, i'd stick with the injected manifold from that XF (nice piece of work in my mind) and look at a later ECU from lets say an EF or EL to run it - that would be a good option.
the older EFI setups are bound to be starting to give problems, and are pretty archaic(sp) although, that said i did have a friend with an XF and 4 speed w/EFI and for what it was it went quite well and returned good fuel economy on the hwy..
with respect engineering well i don't think you'd have to engineer it, if you used the EFI setup from an XF - it was available as an option at the time and hence complied with ADR's ect...
