Talking Planning on a 67 F100 with a 6.0

As the title says im plannin to swap a lq9 6.0 in my 67 F100 right now it has a FE 410" motor...i want to put a 6.0/4l80e with FBOs and a nice cam/stall combo...im gonna be putting in a crown victoria front suspension to be able to ride low and smooth... the motor/tranny im gonna buy will come with harness and PCM..but how is the modifying done??, i know im going to have motor mounts made, and a new fuel system.. im going wit a fuel cell and some good Walbro pumps...basically what else would i need???
this is how it sits right now...
if the budget permits ill probably do a Front mount turbo

short idle clip of the 410
it has like 12.5to1 compression..sounds sick!! but the gas mileage sucks..and theres not much aftermarket support..
and i dont want to put a 302 like everyone else...dont kill me for using a LS engine in my ford...LS motors r probably the best gassers in the world!!

Is that a mustang II?

Not a huge fan of the Chevy motor in the ford but the ls motors are kick ***! Truck should tear up some asphalt.

Lots of people do this, actually. It's not uncommon to find a Chevy engine, even non-LS series, dropped into Fords.

the suspension is from a 03+ crown victoria...that suspension fits any ford truck 65-96..bolts right on with 8 bolts.and a little bracket on the trailing arm.
will have rack and pinion steering,a 5"drop, disc brakes...

and yea a LS motor in a ford...its way cheaper than trying to put a 5.4 or a 4.6cobra motor...ill rather have the ease of wiring a 6.0, the ease of tuning with flaco, the relieablitiy a ls motor has,and the ability to make a bunch of power with not that much money
