to swap out the whole engine for one or the other, ya its possible might take a little bit of work but you can get just about anything to work in anything

yeah it will no way be a direct swap, its a completely different engine, just out of curiosity why would you want to do that anyway? the powerstroke is a much better engine to have if you want performance and all

Yeah, you'd need a computer, wiring and injector driver module. I'm not sure on the motor mounts and bell housing. But, by the time you go through everything you might as well just by a different truck. If you're bent on it you would really want to go with getting a donor truck. Some stuff is only compatible with specfic years.
