This swap is more intensive than anyone thinks. To do it right at least... See if you can't locate a 6.0 instead. WAY more power for the same amount of work. Unless you plan to boost it that is.

There's alot of companies that offer an ECU and adapted wiring harness. Speartech, Current Performance Wiring, and S&P Engineering are names that come to mind.

S&P can get you everything you need to make this much easier, but be prepared to hear your wallet yell "rape." Just the fuel system for my 6.2L swap, is going to be something like $1200...
