97 f150 v10 swap

My 97 f150 has a v8 that runs on two cylinders. I have a 99 ford van that has a v10 and it runs great but the back is totaled. I can handle the grease and wrenching, I just want to know if I'm going to be able to swap ecu's or will I wind up using a closed loop hot rod style harness to complete the swap. Any help?

You can use the van ECU, but only with the van harness. The F150 harness won't fit the V10.

There is another Ford truck forum which I won't mention on here but a fella did a V10 conversion on his F150. Pretty darn impressive the job he did, so if you put your mind to it as well as your wallet....anything can be done.
