Any Suggestions? 1986 thunderbird 5.4 modular project

ok my buddy looking to make a fun thunderbird.
he has a 5.4 out of a 1998 full size van and hes looking to put it in to a 86 thunderbird.
the van is a 1998 3/4 ton e250
the bird is a 1986 3.8 auto
so how hard is this to do.
what do i need to do.
what will i need.
has anyone done it.
i am sure they put it in the mustang but what about the t-bird.
will it fit what motor mounts do i use the trans out of the van or is it to big. or do i pull one form a crown vic 4.6 car do they bolt up.

i have a 1989 mustang lx i just got done puting a 5.0 in it and it was easy. now my buddy wants to get his hands drity.
