Quite nicely, the frame has cutouts for the starter on one side and oil filter on the other, about 1 inch for both, smaller starter and oil filter could eliminate that but I'm a good welder so hey, why not,, It's just a hair to tall to fit the hood, but a custom valve cover could make that work too. I think a 4wd would fit the hight like it is.
When I first decided to do it, the engine was sitting on the shop floor, and I pulled the truck up to it and said no way... it was taller than the hood by itself, it just won't fit. Then I said hell yeah, I'm NOT driving this V6 any more, I'll MAKE it fit. so it came out and the detroit went in and I was pleasantly surprised at how nicely it fit in the end. The suspension even holds it nicely, but is is the all aluminum gama goat version. Length even leaves room for fans. The blower gets VERY close to the steering shaft, and I put a 2" drop in the little tubing crossmember to clear the oil pan. Lemme know if you want more pics.
