Talking seriously it shouldn't be this hard

Hello all,
i'm new to this site but i need some real input. i have a freind w/ a 97 f-150 w/ v6 who really wants to swap his engine with either a 4.6 or prefferably a 5.4. he would like to keep it a 5 spd aswell

i'm trying to get us some info on this, as i will be the one helping. i've swapped some pretty interesting things in the past to include an lt1 powered mustang, a 5.0 ranger, and a lt-1 powered jaguar; oh all were fuel injected.

i believe i can do it but i need to know what will work like tranny, wiring harness, fuel system, engine mounts, ac brackets/compressor, power steering and what not...........

it seems the easiest; if he wants to pursue this is to buy a wrecked truck with the stuff he wants and build one good one, but its not mine.

any help suggestions, misc. comments, sites with this info, experiance

will all be appreciated thanx all

sorry i posted this in the wrong area the first time
