Given enough time, money and expertise, you could fit the 500+ cu inch Cadillac V8 in there; it's your money. I wonder, though, why anyone would want to do something like this when the truck chassis is not designed to handle the speed, weight and potential cornering problems the larger engine would create. The F-150 frame will twist a couple of inches out of line if you put one wheel up on a curb; check it out! The chassis is designed for carying things, not high performance. I suppose you could modify the frame and suspension but for the money involved, you could probably buy a Ferrari.
