Lightning Motor in my Excursion??

As the title reads, how difficult would it be to put the Lightning's S/C 5.4 into my Excursion? Is the Excursion's 5.4 similar to the Lightning's?

After seeing this, I started to think a little creatively and started to wonder about doing this.

It would bolt up - but hooking it up electronically might be a bit more work. PCM from the Lightning with wiring harness, and the transmission from the Lightning too - I think they used the 4R100 in the Lightning, didn't they?

Yeah, thats what I kind of figured. It would just be a matter of buying something like this and swapping everything in.

Yes, the 4R100 is used in the Lightning.

Why not skip the small stuff, and swap in a supercharged a 6.8 V10?

That would be interesting, but as far as I know a S/C for the V10 is hard to come by. They are no longer superchargers made for the V10 anymore is there?

I'm in the middle of this swap and am having a hard time finding a wiring diagram for the black brown and gray plugs next to the pcm under the brake booster on the fire wall. Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Also need pin out for same plugs on 02 harley davidson.
