Id imagine a whole wiring harness, fuel system, i dont know if bellhousings are the same or not... your almost better off finding a totaled truck and swap your good parts over... prolly a bunch of stuff youll need with this swap... or find a diesel truck with a blown up motor ???

Throw your motor in that, or swap it all over
