Swap out my 4.9

Been thinking about it lately and I was wondering how possible an engine change to either a 350 or bigger engine is. I just did an engine swap on a nissan so I know I can actually pull it off its just wondering what I would need to mount it, new trans etc, new rear end. Its a 93 150 and it looks like I have alot of room for a bigger engine in there. Any tips someone can lend me?

What particular reason would you want to swap out the gold ole' 300 for? Just want more power for towing? I guess the easiest way to do a swap would be to find a donar vehicle. Motor, trans, rear end if needed. Computer and wiring harness.

It would be more of a performance swap out. See I got this truck really cheap and I have a work truck already and I think it would be interesting to see a full sized F150 with 400+ hp and a shinney 427 under the hood.

I think the 351w is as big as you can go without changing the bellhousing, but I'm not 100% sure on that one. If you're going to change the bellhousing and tranny, then I'd go ahead and drop a 429 in there!
