Yeah...not to hijack the thread or whatever, but I once tried to tow my boat with a 4.6 equipped standard cab F-150 and it about KILLED the truck. Even moderate hills slowed the thing down to 25-30 mph, and the transmission fluid was damned near boiling. Overpowered, it was not...lol!

You'd need all the brackets and electronics and wiring harnesses from a 5.0 along with everything ELSE that is on the 5.0 equipped engine to do the swap. I am sure while it COULD be done, the cost and hassle would be...crazy to say the least.
