Engine Swap Question

I was thinking of putting a newer 5.0 (out of a 1998-2001 Explorer, VIN P) into my 1992 F-150. Has anyone done this before? What has to be done as far as changing parts out... do I need to use my existing Upper Intake Manifold, Throttle body, and other Emissions stuff? Do I need to use all my Ignition components from my truck? I am sure this has been done before, but any input is appreciated.

Engine Swap Question

You will probably need to use the timing chain cover and water pump from the original motor and the ignition parts as I think the exploreres used coil packs,it would be wise to only use the long block from the explorer as all the other parts might be different and dont throw away the explorer timing chain cover and waterpump as they are real short and will work great for a V8 ranger or pinto swap.
