Odd Swap
I have a '91 F 150, 4.9l six, 133k miles. Engine runs great, body / frame rotten to heck. I just acquired a '94 f150, 5.0v8, 150k miles, absolutely clean as a whistle, no rust, no rot, but engine is shot. Both trucks are automatic with electronic o/d, both are 4x2. I'd like to swap the straight 6 & tranny from the '91 into the '94. Any thoughts, ideas or advice? I've never done an engine swap before, and this seems to be feasible (feasible = cost effective and pratical in my case).
Any help is greatly aprreciated.

The straight six has an "E" Code tranny, The 5.0l has a "U" code tranny. I was doing a little research, and after '92 the chassis wiring is a little different. I'm thinking about fabricating wiring harness adapters based on the wiring schematics, so i think i may leave a post in an electrical/wiring forum
Thanks for the help.
