You can put a bigger motor in that truck as long as it's the same kind of motor from a six to a V8 it all should bolt together but you might have to change the cluch and flywheel but every thing should bolt up together I have changed motors and transmission and it all worked out nice !

How do I find out if the block mounts up to the transmission and do you know what kind of transmission it is?
