ModularFords is a good source for info on the swap. It's a lot of work, if you don't use the instrument cluster, PCM, and ignition out of the same vehicle you'll need to delete the PATS in the tune before you can start it.

You can also use the stock 4.6 K-member if you want to save some money, you'll have to elongate the holes where it bolts to the frame.

You will also need the newer gas tank, filler neck, and the straps will need to be extended.

There is a lot of little shit that you will run into throughout the build.

Hit up Sacstangdriver. He's been there. I remember helping him shoehorn that thing between the shock towers. When installed, looks sexy as hel!!
