Most people would say it is relatively "hard". Your '93 will be EFI, & I assume that may also make things harder. I substituted 6-7 studs for as many bolts, which made things a bit easier.

Hard? Yes. Impossible? Of course not...

Don't know about the 93...But on my old engines, it's pretty simple.
The hard part on my type, is they are heavy! I installed mine on the engine stand, when I assembled the rebuilt engine. So it was a piece of cake there...But I'd dread having to do that in the truck...
Mainly cuz it's heavy, and you have to make sure everything is lined up, etc, while bent over the engine compartment...I'd probably have to climb in with the engine to be able to lift it into place...Hard to say about a 93...But probably similar... But otherwise, it's pretty simple... MK

Get a good buddy that works out a lot and take your time. Between the 2 of you no problem to line everything up and get it on. Torque everything how you should and no problems. Just don't think it will be an hour project and you will be fine.
