Well I guess that depends if you're better at fabbing up mounts, crossmembers and such, or if you're better at wireing and computers

it would probably be easier to go with the cummins, alot less wiring issues.

I would guess that you could get the motor mounts and just bolt them in, if this is for your 93. If that's the case, you'd be best off getting the entire truck so you have everything. You might get a better deal that way too.

The frames would be the same so I honestly don't see why you couldn't just bolt it in. The computers would be the hard part. At least you wouldn't have to worry about switching dashes or gauges and things like that.

You can't swap an old engine into a newer body, its illegal.
