Engine Swap Help
Removed a 5.0 from a 1994 F150 and installed a 1996 5.8 from a 250, the engine turns over, I have spark and fuel, but it will not start, I did not change the computer, is this necessary and if so which computer do I need, would be grateful for any help, thanks

Is the truck mass air? If so no EEC change necessary.
Plugs are wired for the 13726548 firing order?
Could be a timing issue, did you remove the distributor during the swap?
