I would have thought the 5.0 would have been "easier." Looks like the 7.3 is way to go but still not easy and or have it work without issues

If you get the swap kit it sounds like there's nothing "extra" needed. It uses the 6.2 PCM and a different engine harness, so it wouldn't requiring having to change out a bunch of extra items.

Regardless of which way you go, will your transmission be able to handle it? I’d hate to see you get up and running, only to suffer a transmission failure soon after.

6R80 and 10R80 are rated for the same torque. That's the "80" part. Ford is cool with putting the 10R80 behind the 735 HP Raptor R.
