Engine swap

I am not a mechanic, and I was just wondering Is it possible to put a 1999 engine and transmission into a 1990 F150 is it possible and how much work needs to be done

Given enough time and money it is possible to put ANY engine and transmission into ANY vehicle.

Since you didn't say what each engine is I can't get any more specific than that.
