Default 3.8/ 4.6 engine swap

Hey guys I have a black 1999 mustang with a 3.8 V6. I am wanting to do a 4.6L swap. does anyone know what the complications would be? or is it a direct fit or what? I also heard i would need the 4.6L computer wiring harness an radiator. is this also true? if anyone can help me it would be much appreciated. thanks, and keep em fast

Ok, for the millionth time...
tranny, driveshaft, rear end, wiring harness, computer, k-member,(I know I forgot a few things, but we get this question every day) and endless hours of install and troubleshooting to get it to work right. Yes it can, and has been done, but it's cheaper and quicker to just get the GT.
