Intakes are the same (virtually).
You'll need a radiator...although you should check to see if you can use yours and your'll need an ECU.
That's it! Everything else goes right in!
May I suggest that you throw some headers on it before you drop it in? The V10 really could use them and they are a pain to install once the engine is in.
A Port and polish wouldn't hurt either...

The v10 is the v8 plus two more cylinder, so other than length specific parts, the engine will obviously drop right in, being a factory option for the Explosion. The radiator ought to be the same. Like Ford can afford to make mulitiple SD platform radiators for what is the same engine family.
Need computer (car-part.com) and engine harness, I believe. Might need to move the mounts up a smidge, too.

Actually, call around to a few parts stores in your area and see if you can have the ECU flashed. You'll need to find a VIN code for a V10 powered truck, the ECUs are the same, just the V10 compy is programmed to monitor two more cylinders.
