What I need to know is what is involved in swapping this as far as motor mounts and cooling system go. I imagine an electric fan will be needed for waterpump clearance? What mounts can be used for this? The engine came from an early 80's Dodge car. Thanks in advance for any help.

What engine did the truck have in it originally? If it was a 3.9l truck, the motor mounts should be the same. you most likely will need a bigger radiator. you will also most likey have to use a serpentine drive system for you accessories, as the v/belts will take up too much room, or possibly relocate the radiator forward and remove the a/c condensor if it has one, and install an electric fan in front of it, as a pusher.
