Question swapping 6.8 triton

I am replacing 6.8L engine in my 2000 ford 250 with a 6.8 2003 excursion van engine. My son was driving it when someone punched a hole in the oil pan!!!!!! he didn know and drove until it stopped. ugh..... I would appreciate any tips or info I can get on the swap. especially the pulling out of existing motor.

You will get a lot more answers asking in the v10 forum, but ... those two engine are pretty much identical so it'll be an easy swap.

Some people who've pulled the engine in a Superduty say that removing as much from the front of the cab, including grill, radiator support, etc, makes it much easier.
