engine swap

I have a 1966 f-100 styleside. about to pull motor and install a 2007 police intercepter crown vic font suspension. I was wondering if anyone has tried to put a new modular engine in an old ford. Would it work? if I go crate engine, Whats the best engine for just running the roads and sounding good?

Andy does your donor have it's engine? A p i engine and tranny should power the truck pretty good. You will need to work with the computer but it might all turn out better than you think.
