Hi and welcome to the forum

Sorry that no one has replied before now.
It will be a ton of work to do that swap unless you have a donor truck sitting next to yours. You'll need pretty much everything under the hood, wiring, PCM, exhaust etc.
Buying a Lightning truck would be way easier and, in the end, might not cost much more.
