If I recall correctly, 2005 was the year they went strictly to 3v engines. To transplant a 05 into older vehicles, you WILL need the wiring harness and PCM. I believe you can use an older trans, but you have to do a tune for it.
You are right about having to replace the engine and trans as a unit with the harness and PCM. It is cheaper in the long run as you are replacing them to run together.
Lots of luck on your project. You need to post some pictures as the project goes along. And let us know if you ran into problems.

It's just a SUPER-DUTY Mustang GT Sedan. 198K miles and still rolling HARD.
1997 Crown Victoria P71 SVT *** ex-US Marshall service (the CAR)
STOCK?? I bet it was modified.
13.26 @ 107.24 MPH 1/4 mi w/ me, tools, & full tank of 93 octane
I added CAI, NICHE 19 X 8.5 " wheels with 245/45ZR 19 rubbers, and completely rebuilt the front end with poly bushings, Kooks headers, 2 1/4inch exhaust, TCI 2200-2400 rpm Stall converter
.PLANS:: engine upgrade, 5.4L 2v stroker, rebuild interior in leather w/ buckets, thinking about turbos

There was never a 3v engine in a Crown Vic from the factory, none transplanted that I've seen either.
3v 4.6L engines were in the Mustang and the F150.
In '05 Ford went to DBW but that's it.

Just get the newest one you can find and keep the stock engine around since you will need a few parts. The oil pan was changed with the frame redesign in '03.

I wish I had a 3V and I drive an 08'
