Default 4.0 t0 3.0 swap

i know there is a million swap threads and I tried to find the one I need before posting so if you know about it just link me the thread please.


Anyway what I am thinking about doing is, the truck I just bought has a bad motor. its a 2001 4x4 vin has E for 8th dig. Can I swap it out for a 2001 4x4 3.0 if I use the computer from that truck. I can get it with 60k miles for cheap. I don't care about the 4.0 going back in just need it to get my son back and forth to school. Does the trans match up from the 4.0 to the 3.0?

Nothing is the same.
Trans diff computers diff. Wiring harness diff, sensors diff
So, good luck.
