To do a job like that will require a good amount of skill, a lot of patience and a pretty deep pocket. Just things to think about, fabricating mounts, changing fuel tanks, drive shaft. The list goes on and on. I have done this kind of swap a few times ( never in my own truck) but I have a full automotive shop at my disposal, and a fair amount of skill. So the job wasnt too difficult for me to accomplish. However, it is still quite an undertaking, but well worth it in the end. I hope I havent discouraged you, you just need to think about EVERYTHING involved in the swap. Good luck!
