We put a 1992 Ford 5.0 with AOD transmission into a "48 F1 truck that has Jag running gear. Made for a really nice truck that surprisingly can still haul a pretty good size load. The wiring harness was very expensive. It was however easy, but never again. We gave up the stock Ford computer and I built a "MegaSquirt" EFI controller. Runs much stronger now, and everything is tunable yourself. It even corrects timing and fueling for altitude on the fly since the truck will be driven from sea level to 8000", then to 4000" in one non stop run. No more crappy idle and dying when getting into Reno like the stock computers do. We would, no matter if using MegaSquirt or a stock computer, make our own wiring harness from salvaged parts from the donor car. There are good Ford wiring diagrams out there, so it takes some time, but saves lots of $$$.
That is my friends truck. I still drive around in cars with 6 volt systems and flatehead engines and intend to keep doing so. It is simpler.
I have no connection to the vendor and info link provided other than that is where I learned a lot and got my kit.
