it is posssible howver I have not heard of anyone doing it into a new F-150, vinnie did the transplant into his gen-2 lightning along with somne other mods the newer 3 valve F-150 would make more sense just adding a roush or whipple supercharger since the 3 valve heads make torque like the 2 valves and higher rpm hp like the 4 valve engines

i just dont see anyone doing something like this simply because if they fork out the money for gt500, i would think they would just keep the car
FRPP sells just the GT500 engine as a crate motor, it's about 15 large.

It would be cheaper to just build a strong block 3v in my opinion.
A Ford GT motor with its internals can stand 1000RWHP/TQ as is proven in "joes" Twin turbo GT. I dont see why you couldnt build a 3v or 2v to be just as strong or atleast close to it.

When it comes down to making decisions on what compression pistons (-18, -15cc, etc.) rods, crankshaft, heads (stage 1, 2, or 3), cams ( if not the stock ones) to go with this may not be a bad idea. You got to put the right combination together. As IRONS1N mentioned, that engine can withstand a ton of power.
However, I'd just build my old 3v and hope for the best. $16k is just way to much for me!
Better off building up a 5.4 Triton and going from there. There is nothing particularly outstanding about the GT500's mill that warrants dumping that kind of change unless you just want to say you did it. You can source better rods and pistons. Ported 03/04 Cobra heads are available and probably cheaper. Your seasoned iron block would be better than a "green" block. Stock crank is plenty stout. Tuning would be a little hitch as the 4V engines don't have cam phasers. Much less of an issue if you stay with 3V heads though. 3V heads flow plenty, especially with a power adder.
Ford GT's use a completely separate aluminum block and a better set of internals. Also about a $40,000 engine completely dressed.
