5.0 engine swap questions

[bmlawson2003]

So in my quest to repair/replace my 4.0 sohc engine in my 2001 x dot 4x4 I have stumbled across a 2000 mountaineer with the 5.0 and all wheel drive. The yard its at said it would sell me the entire drivetrain for 385 bucks. Which has me considering a v8 swap now. So, aside from the engine, trans, transfer case, what else should I need for the swap? I'm pretty sure ill need the gem module, pcm, and possibly the steering column? Would it be more cost effective to have ford flash it so i can retain my key? Thanks!

this is what i grabbed for my swap. granted it was from a 98 truck to a 98 truck.

the shopping list is
trans (duh)
motor (double duh!)
hopefully a useless transfer case
drive shafts
rad/condenser ***update, 4L SOHC rad/condenser will work***
a/c lines
power steering lines, and cooler
motor harness, and wiring from alt to battery ***update, 4L underhood body harness will mate to 5L motor harness, however, oil gauge wire, and a/c wires need to be modified to work***
throttle cable
trans shifter cable (not sure if i will need it, but hey) ***update, 5r55e cable will work***
air filter box ***update 4L SOHC box, and sensor will work***
exhaust from manifolds to muffler, but not muffler (hope i can use my flowmaster. otherwise might get some suppertrapps)
fuel pump (not sure if needed but.....) ***update, 4L SOHC pump will work***
g.e.m.
p.a.t.s.
key ring around ignition cylinder, and ignition cylinder
locks including hatch lock
radio bezel
computer
cruise motor with cable
