It has been covered several times. Try searching the forum.

At minimum you're looking at custom motor mounts, and a full swap of electronics and wiring harness. I also am not sure if the bolt patterns on the bellhousing are the same between the car engines and truck engines.

A truck KA24DE from 98+ would be an easier swap, but they don't make as much HP.
