No. Being an 01 complicates matters.... (actually, being a 98 or newer.....) All the gauges are told what to display by the computer via the communications bus. Right down to the gas gauge..... What is the end goal here? What do you plan to use your truck for?
Once I swap just a hot rod really. nothing fancy but I want to keep oem electronics as much as possible.

The stick with an engine that came stock in the truck. Might consider buying a license for the tuning software and such, and doing the tuning yourself.... Then you can tweak it to your hearts content. Or, once the engine is installed, take it and have it dyno tuned...... cost is probably very similar.
I don't the the 46RE would last long behind a 440..... they had enough problems behind a 360.
The 46RE RH both have the small block bell housing so they won't bolt up. I believe there is an adapter, I would much rather have ZF8! Somebody was going to make an adapter for the big blocks but don't know how that went. Have you ever considered twin turbos? There is a kit but they want way to much money for it.
