Can I swap my 04 chevy Silverado motor with the motor from my 98 Z28 Camaro?

Hello New to the site. I'm wondering if I can swap motors from my 98 Z28 Camaro with only 66K miles into my 04 Chevy Silverado? I have After market heaters, Intake, exhaust and other little things that makes my truck smoke the new 5.0. Y? U might ask.. Because I just feel like smoking faster vehicles. Unexpected power.

Yes, I believe you could. You may need an adapter or specialty conversion part here and there, but the motor mounts and bellhousing should match up, and I'm pretty sure the ECUs are the same generation. That should be among the more straightforward swaps.

The Z28 headers may not be compatible with the truck/exhaust/cats.
