However, there might be some minor differences that require attention:
* Wiring harness: The wiring harnesses between the 1993 and 1998 models might be slightly different. You might need to adapt the harness or use the harness from the 1998 truck.
* Computer/ECM: The engine control module (ECM) is likely different. You'll need the ECM from the 1998 truck, and it may need to be programmed or calibrated to work correctly with the 1993 vehicle's sensors and other components.
* Sensors: While the sensors are generally similar, there might be minor differences, and using the correct sensors from the 1998 engine is recommended.
* Exhaust system: The exhaust system might need some modification to fit properly.
* Accessories: The placement of accessories like the alternator and power steering pump might be slightly different, requiring adjustments to hoses and belts.
In short, while the engine itself will physically fit, you'll need to plan for some mechanical and electrical adaptation work. It's not a simple bolt-in swap. Consult a repair manual for both years to compare the specifics before you begin.
