I'm going to do a 6.0 PSD engine swap!!!
It's been about a year and a half since I sold my 2005 E450 that I bought new. I miss my van. Since then, I bought a 1997 Ford E350 Airstream B190. I like it because it reminds me of the 2005 that ...

Bryan,
What are your thoughts on the 2008 front clip update and the 2009 dash update for the E-series?
Fornt clip update is pretty easy. All the pieces will bolt off & back on. Apparetnly you can even reuse your radiator support if you re-mpount the hood latch.
Dashboard probably won't be too bad, but you cannot use the new stock radio or cluster with your van. I don't know how much work is needed to shoe-horn the old cluster into the new dash layout. You'll have to use an aftermarket radio since the stock radios to a VIN check against the PCM through the CAN network.
You know.... you could always weld up the Unison ring in the 6.0 turbo and then stick if on the V10:B. A remote mount setup should be pretty easy (mount it after the Y-pipe, move the cat back, and ditch the muffler).
That would be an interesting setup! There are some youtube videos out there of folks putting turbos on Crown Vics, underneath the car in front of the rear axle!
If I'm using all the wiring from a 2009 van what would prevent me from using that instrument cluster?
