anyone converted a late model to V8?

I was just wondering if anyone converted any mid 2000's-up models to V8...

 

[V8 Level II]

Here's a very brief summary for 99~01 Explorer 5.0 swaps into 98+ Rangers. Each step forward in years from the base of 98~2000 makes the swap more complicated.

1998 Ranger is similar to 99~2001 5.0 Ex except the Ranger has no PATS

1999~2000 4-cylinder is very similar to 99~2001 5.0 Ex except the Ranger has no PATS

1999~2000 V6 Ranger is the closest to 99~2001 5.0 Ex and needs very minor electrical work.

2001~2003 needs some extra changes: PATS and speedometer VSS are the biggest.

2004~2006 adds a digital instrument cluster, some revised color codes and rerouted/revised harnesses.

2007~2009 has a 175 pin PCM and completely revised color codes and harnesses.

2010~2011 adds Traction Control, Roll Stability Control and other potential complications.

I guess the easiest way is to drop some old carbureted iron in there and use an aftermarket speedometer.
Of course, emmissions could still be an issue.

Is there a motor mount kit available?
