Welcome! It will take everything. Wiring harness, computer, motor mounts and associated accesories.

Welcome to the board. If I am not mistaken you will have to change the wiring harness and computer (this can be pulled from the doner van) Of course you will need motor mounts.

I don't know about a van but F-150 to F-150 5.8L to a 4.9L wiring appears that it is going to work. The engine loom should plug into the truck loom but the computer needs to be changed out. The engine frame mount on the driverside shares some rivits with the bracket for the right side I beam. A royal PITA to take off, I can only imagine trying to put one on going to a 5.8L. Good luck.
