you will have at least one counterbore to cut. Most likely the gears in the front are iffy. You could just get a reman head and put a head gasket in also. Won't know if that is possible until the head is off and you can check it out. Got by once doing that.

Get a similiar year, truck and family of engine if you buy a spare. Did that also, there are some simple differences between Pete, KW, Binders unless you switch families then there are a few more.

I bought one that was in a 2004 Int and all the external stuff was different. Had alot of money into gaskets just to swap in a used engine.
