Engine swap

Can a 1990-1991 7.3 idi swap into a 1993 F250. I know the engines are similar or exactly the same but the body styles changed. Did the wiring harnesses change too or engine mounts? any help would be appreciated, thanks!

If they are both 7.3's, it is pretty much a direct swap. The biggest difference will be that the '93 uses a serpentine belt and the earlier trucks use v-bellts. There may be some minor wiring differences, but your external accessories can swap over to the new engine.
