Re: motor swap
I would plan to spend about another $2K in parts. Less if you can rework your harness and program your own computer.

Re: motor swap
If you have the complete truck, I'd say another 2k is ballpark if your not going to do a bunch of other stuff at the same time. The rear end swap will add a little cost; what rear end is it, and is the width going to work for your swap truck?
