Default 5.8L from a 93 Truck into an 88 2.3L Mustang.....HELP!

Hello everyone...I was sent here in search of the wealth of knowledge of all things Ford....I am looking at how hard it would be to transplant this motor into my 88 keeping the Fuel Injection. I know I will need a Tranni and a rearend and a oil pan and of course I will need motor mounts and most likely a stock 5.0L computer...I have also heard of a distributor gear change???....I would like to go with a Maximum Motorsports suspension w/ their K-Member and I was wondering if there were anybody out there who could point me in the right direction....I am also planning on rebuilding the 351Wbefore I install so no need to worry about that...if anyone can tell me if it is concievable than I would be greatly appreciative...Thanks guys and gals..
