You'll need a V-8 type bellhousing from a little later truck and you'll need to deal with steering box/exhaust manifold interference. The problems have all been overcome more than one.
Oh, and of course you'll have some objections from the 'keep it stock' crowd.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | |

Let the stock boys whine though. Its YOUR truck. If you go V8 be sure to run straight Pipes.  | | |
