yes it will work.
just about anything will, the 5L will be at the easier end of the scale and easy to engineer but obviously needs more electrics than the 3L.

Why does it need more electrics then the 3L they are basically the same engine with bigger capacity, still has the mechanical injector pump. The 5L-e will have more wiring because it is EFI

just get a 5L (mechanical injection) not a 5L-E (EFI)
