Question 92 2.5 to 2.8 swap

Anyone know how much stuff I would have to change on my truck to go from a 2.5 4 cyl to the 2.8 v6? I was trying to do some crossreferencing on parts to see which ones interchange, and I got as far as the clutch, and fuel pump, supposedly the clutch kit @ advance auto parts is the same for both trucks, flywheel is different, but I'm thinkin that's just for balance reasons and crank bolts, but I'm wondering if anyone knows if the alt is the same, if I can use the same radiator, and how much of the wiring harness I'm gonna have to splice, also will the rear of the motor be in the same location, or do I have to fab a tranny crossmember and change my driveshaft length. ?? Only reason I'm asking is cause I have a 2.8 that I can put in for free, and my 2.5 is getting kinda whooped (192,000) Any and all help is as usual greatly appreciated.
