LMR did it, as have others. Your best bet is doing a google search on it.

You can either use a donor vehicle or buy a ready to use crate motor. I would highly recommend not dinking around with a donor engine harness but rather buying a new harness for whatever year you buy. The last thing you want to be chasing down with a very modern engine is, electrical gremlins.

You're getting the matching transmission as well?

You'll probably need custom motor mounts and hoses as well as a driveshaft.

Doesn't FoMoCo sell an engine management system for a swap like this?
