Search the forum - this one has been brought up several times. There are actually quite a few differences, but if I recall correctly, the truck transmission is not a direct bolt up to the 240 motor, and the motor mounts are located differently.

The electronics aren't the same either.

first. Learn to freaking write man! Use punctuation and pay attention a little in school, geez!

Secondly the 240 engine you have will work fine, you just have to massage the area of the pan where it and the main bearing girdle contact. You can cut it and re weld it shut or use a hammer and clearance it that way. Far as the dipstick goes you can re-drill the hole. peace.
