Default 281 to 351 swap in a new edge?

My friend blew his rod and spun his bearing in his new edge GT and he has a 351 from a 1990 ford truck (he has the whole truck to his disposal,) he was going to try and swap it in his new edge. What modifications would he need to do to swap this motor in.

You'll basically need a 94/95 V8 donor car for everything from the computer, wiring harnesses, etc., a custom K-member and a whole lot of fabrication experience and patience. It's been done. The actual work is not difficult. Sourcing parts and making sure they work together is the pain.
