4.8 or 5.3 swap into a Nissan Truck

Hey all got a 93 Nissan Truck 2wd 4cyl 5spd that has a lot of miles and thought to maybe do a LSX based motor into it.I've seen others do older SBC swaps and Ford 302 swaps but haven't found any posts or info on this type of swap or a LS-1 swap.I always thought LSX based motors were a little longer and wider than a regular SBC.I know either way there's a lot of modifications that needed to be done etc.So before I dived into this thought to do more research and get more info before I did.What really sparked this was that my friend unfortunately wrecked his 02 chevy 1500 and would be a nice donor for it.Any info or help appreciated thanks !

all the hard searching is already done; you have a complete donor! start wrenching

very true just hoping there might be some others that have done it and might be able to provide pics of more detailed info is all.

Anywhere a SBC can go, an LSX will go. Very little difference in physical size.
