I don't know if the motor phisically fits in the engine compartment, but if you get past that....
You should use the computer from the engine that you are installing (lincon 5.0) the bronco's computer won't know how to interperate the data from a different engine and will probably give you all kinds of problems.
what are the smog regulations in your state? could you even street register it with the swap?
Many junkyards sell good engine cores for under $300, it may be easier to just build a replacement stock motor.
