I think swapping a complete 3V engine assembly would be doable. The biggest hurdle (as mentioned earlier) is engine management. However, it would seem wiser to adapt the 3v to the older truck rather than adapting the truck. Find a throttle body that will work on the 3v or fab an adapter that will allow a TB with cable driven action.

Dunno about fuel, are they returnless? Misc sensors and coils, probably have some splicing to do.

You'd definitely have to get a custom tuned chip to adapt fuel and timing curves to the 3v head.

I also have a 99 and considering a pi upgrade. Was there a noticeable improvement over 3k rpm?

TIA, Marcus

Go with a good tuning program. After a good tune is applied to a 2V or a 3V, they end up very close in hp and torque.
