kind of a standard swap, a lotta people are taking the entire engine cradle/crossmember section from a donor truck and swapping it in, but you can buy a conversion kit with everything new, or just get the pieces from a junkyard truck...
someone on the board who's dunnit can give you a list of everything you'll need, but it's not difficult...

Ive gone the other route, piece by piece, junkyards, board members, Auto parts stores. Surely could have saved time w/ kit but not $$$.
