i sort of agree with eric,this sort of transplant is not what i would ever want in my trucks,but thats not to say it cant,or wont be done.you would probably need to get all the complete wireing harness,computer ,etc from a donor vehicle.i suggest get the complete vehicle if possible.you will probably have to fabricate engine mounts,tranny mounts,driveshaft lenght,and end yolk,as wellas a bunch of misilaneous stuff.if your up for the challenge,and you really want this in your truck,go for it.it WILL be costly,time consuming,and at times difficult.just my opinion-billy

I know it will be difficult but Ive got everything I need to make this engine run, I can weld so motor mounts wont be a big problem. The main reason for doing this swap is because I want this to be a one of a kind show truck.

then by all means,go for it.i built a toyota truck with duallies 20 years ago,because i really liked dually trucks,and every one said i was crazy,andit was not possible.then when it was done they all said it wouldnt last.i also had a ford 302 in it,that was a first ,everyone said to put a chevy small block in it,i said i liked the ford engine instead.well i had that truck for over 15 years,it was possible,and it did last.that wasback before dually trucks were cool,they were just considered to be work trucks back then.enjoy your project,its 1/2 the fun of the finished result.-billy
