What electronics are required for a V10 swap?

If someone was to put a 6.8l 3V V10 into a 2000 F150, what would be required?

Supercharge your 5.4L. I'm guessing it would cost less, produce similar power and get better mileage than a V10.

Hey LesPhelps
I did a quick web search for swaps and came up with this.

http://carcraft.com/tipstricks/96058/

The bottom of the page lists contacts who may have more truck related info for you. You'll notice a specialized ECU/wireharness adapter, since the motor/trans combo never existed in that platform, you'll need to get creative here unless someone else has gone there before you. Best luck.

Thanks for the link man. I am not planning on doing this any time soon, but when my 5.4 eventually dies, I want to upgrade to something more powerfull.
Guess I just need to do more research.
Thanks guys!
