Of course it's possible if you have both trucks in front of you for the swap. It's gonna take a ton of time and fab work, hardest part will be getting the wiring to work together

As superdutyscaler indicated it's going to take some work. Do you have a V10 already? Are you looking at purchasing one? The wiring will be the biggest pain to try and get everything working and if you live somewhere they do year inspections that could be headaches if everything doesnt function correctly ( warnings lights on the dash cluster wise I mean)

You will need an electrical diagram to use the factory harness. If it was the same vintage the engine harness may plug into the chassis harness but you are at least one generation out.

I'd would see if painless wiring makes a standalone harness
