Cars come with computers that are set/programmed for one specific engine. Changing an engine would necessitate reprogramming the car's computer or replacing it with the computer from the donor car which would cause problems with everything else in the car..... It's not like it was in the "60s when you could stuff a 427 into a "61 ChevyII. Since "91, if you don't like what you have, replace it.

I’m out going to say it won’t go in cause with enough money you can get it to work. However you would be money ahead if you just bought a more powerful used truck.
