Question Lightning engine swap

I am looking into buying a newer F-150(V6 or V8), but only to swap in a Lightning engine. Any info would be great help, like how hard is it? Is there a conversion kit for the V6? And what is some basic things that have to be done? Thanks a lot...

well i know that holley makes a package for the 97+ F-150s with the 5.4 V8's that includes a blower just like the lightning's one but the whole package claims to make more power than the 99 lightnings. the only thing is that it says you need an alternator from a lightning. try asking around about that package, i think that would be easier than doing an engine swap. good luck!
