Instead of buying a NEW truck, I'd like to improve its Torque and Horsepower. Would my truck be a "decent" contender for a FULL suspension upgrade (Mustang II Front & 4-Link Explorer 8.8 Rear with Disc Brakes)?

Actually one of the easiest parts. The factory 2.0l ecoboost wiring harness works for the most part. A few things like the starter, oil pressure, intake air temp, and map sensor pigtails had to be extended since the motor is mounted in a north/south configuration. Other than that the pcm that I used was basically plug and play. Wire up the fuel pump and a switch for the starter and thats about it. Motor fitment was the hard part. The cam driven high pressure fuel pump and vacuum pump on the back of the motor require a lot of the firewall to be cut up and resized.
