The easiest way is to find a '76 or older F150 that has a 369/390 in it. Your goning to need the motor mount perches, tranny, drive shaft and maybe the rear end for starters.

Have fun, good project if you got the time.

80-up never came with an FE engine, so I bet there will be lots of issues and engineering involved.
