Hey you said biggest, baddest. GT40 Crate engine from Ford Motorsport would wake up your beast for a very reasonable price.

Unless you're going to compete with the truck very few people have the $$$ to throw away on the biggest baddest engines. If you've got that kind of disposable income then here's one of many you can look at:

For something more reasonable ck out:

Personally, I'd go with a 460 crate engine & be done with it. Crate 460's run anywhere from $2k for shortblocks to the $5k jobs from Ford Motorsports with the "average" crate 460 costing around $3k. To install this you'll need anywhere from $1400 to $2700 (depending on your transmission) for the installation kit from L&L:

I'd strongly recommend the kit from L&L, it's complete, everything fits well & works after the swap and the optional fenderwell headers definitely fall into the badass category.
