Electrics maybe. Different wiring loom, different instrument dash, vacuum plumbing AFAIK. If you have 3.9:1 diffs, you might not be happy with them either.

I did this conversion to my gq ute. The instiment cluster wiring,all engine wiring ,radiator outlets airconditioning pump and lines,flywheel and clutch, vacuum tank and plumbing all have to be changed, i got a full harness with the engine from the wreckers .All up it cost me including a new denco turbo kit $8500 and tripled my fuel econemy
