97 OBS motor to SD

Hi Guys, My 2000 Dually motor gave out 6 months ago and have not been able to save for the rebuild so I decided the only way to get it running again was to buy a used motor. Thanks for the good prices from AirFish i was able to buy a 97 OBS motor from him. So I read that I need to put my Hpop, Pedestal w/Turbo, Injectors, Plunums, Headers & uppipes, Front engine cover & accesories, Valve covers. Is there anything i'm missing as i heard someone say the oil pick up and oil pan to. Since the engine will be out anything else you guys suggest to do now than later, I was thinking about the LPOP.

If you swap to a super duty front cover you will need the super duty pan and oil pick up tube. There's also a bolt in the main cap that needs to be moved to the opposite side for the pickup tube as well. Good luck with the swap!

Do I have to change the front cover or could I just use the obs one?

I don't think you have to. The biggest difference between them is the OBS cover isn't machined for the screened hpop reservoir gasket.
