Default motor swap

i have a 1988 ford e-350 with a 460. the van just isn't my style and i dont like working on a van. i was thinking of taking the motor out and putting it in either like a mustang or a 1970's or early 80's f-100 or f-150 and im not sure which would be easier as far as wiring and if the motor mounts would line up or anything like that. any opinions? and how does the motor come out of this van? would it come out the front or the bottom?

Many come out through the front. If you convert to a carburetor and Duraspark the wiring will be very easy to do. I wired up a Duraspark system in a 72' Ford back when I was your age. It was pretty easy, and if you want some pointers or parts I can help you out.
