Not terribly.. you would have to do some exhaust work or use the plumbing from the donor truck, but othwise the motor will drop right in and hook up.

How about the computer? I don’t know much! But I know the 93 isn’t OBD 2. This truck has been a pain; motor has a noise that goes away at about 1500-2000 RPM in park. Was told it could be lifters, pulled valve covers and everything seemed good and the noise doesn’t sound like a knock, more like a clacking sound. If I ever getting it running then I’ll figure out why dash trim says XL and fender emblems say XLT.

Both motors use the same tranny bolt pattern so no issue there. What tranny is in the '93? The 5.8 has different balance than the 5.0 so you'll need the 28oz flexplate for the E4OD tranny, if the '93 has the same tranny you're good.
All the sensors are in the same location so there will be no splicing necessary at all. The '93 motor won't have the crank position sensor the '96 motor has though so you'll need to find a 5.8 balancer with the exciter ring. I think that's literally the only difference.
