not hard whatsoever as far as the drop in is concerned.
hard part is finding a good running motor. if you do find one, get the external oil cooler assy at the same time too.
it took me three years to find a good 6.5 turbo motor for the service truck.

im not looking for a turbo motor just a n/a daily driver good on fuel wmo not looking for a peformance just ecomny would the easy thing to do is get a donor truck so i get all the parts hydro boost radiator and other mic stuff
any donor from 83-92 would be a candidate for you. 83-87 trucks are different chassis altogether but the running gear will graft into yours.
good luck!
good luck!
