I too have the same question for a 1992 f150. I have the 351W complete running engine out of a 1989 f150. trying to find info on a swap from the 302 to the 351W.

engine swap

I did the swap a year ago in an 87. I used the wiring harness and emissions equipment off of the original 5.0. You will want to use the accessory mounting brackets off of the 5.8, as well as the 351 exhaust. I have been running mine on the original 5.0 computer but it runs a little rich sometimes but actually works pretty good. The rest of the stuff is just plug & play.
