Default 3.9L to 5.9L

If I were to do this swap what else would I have to change other than the engine? Anything like fuel, I know the CPU, but thats simple. Just wondering about the extra's because this 3.9L is SLOW.

I know that, but I would only do that if I did a direct swap at the same time or I will run on the a500 for now, it has a shift kit so it would last for a bit. Just drive it nice till I could afford a nice built tranny. But im not sure if this is even worth while for me. I might just buy a new truck, with v8.

I don't think the motor mounts need to be changed. Im pretty sure it is just a swap It should Just fit right in according to some people.
