Default Van vs Truck 6.5

Hey guys, as some of you know I'm in the market for a rebuild or a crate motor right now. I may have found a cheap replacement until I find the money to buy or rebuild to exactly what I want. I found a guy that has a 99' van motor, it was running, but they parted the van out. I know the turbo setup is different, so long story short, will the rear turbo setup fit under the hood, or do I need to switch heads and use my current turbo setup?

I don't know but I believe you would have to switch turbo setup. Are the heads even different? I want to say that you'd just be able to bolt on manifolds and fuel filter.

no, I want to rebuild the motor while I'm running the van motor. who really knows what the heads look like though. Its really a feeling that I don't have the money to buy or rebuild the motor to what I want right now. and while i have vehicles to drive, I just can't live without drivin my baby for that long. The van motor should be real cheap, which gives me a working motor until I have the money to play.
