Your P3 # 90195 is a great controller and will work great in your 2008 Ford E-350 Van. For wiring you will need to start with a 4-way for the turn signal functions. For that you will need the part # 118551.
Next you will need the part # ETBC7 which will convert the 4-way to a 7-way and allow you to install the brake controller. This comes with everything needed to make the conversion and install the brake controller. You will want some extra wire, which you can get with part # 10-2-1.
To see how all of this will install on a van just like yours check out the video I attached. The video shows a 2006 Van which is very similar. I attached an install instruction link as well.
