82 F100 Engine Swap

My 82 F100 is a short bed with the 9 inch rear end and 5.5 lug pattern not the car version. I pulled out the original 302 and AOD and have a 460/C6 with PI heads that I was going to put in it.

Now I am thinking I would rather put in a newer fuel injected drive train such as the 4.6, 5.4 or 6.8. What is a good donor vehicle to be looking for that would make the easiest swap?

Easiest swap over would be to get a wrecked pickup that had the engine you're looking for. I vote for the V10 with glasspacks, since you're already thinking of a 460.
