ADVICE BADLY NEEDED 1983 Thunderbird Heritage Update

Well, I would suggest changing the oil and getting it running ASAP, but I thought the V6 was the only one with a carb? I thought the 5.0 Had CFI on it. if that's the case, there are a lot of stupid electronics on there to get damaged. Also, if the water made it that high, how much made it into the fuel tank?
If attempting to get it running, pull the spark plugs and make sure you aren't going to hydro lock it when you turn it over.
