plans to reincarnate the ranger

[turboL]

mostly trail, just street to get there. i have my stock blazer for a trail vehicle. i have located dana 60 rear, now i need the front. i was planing on leaves for now, four links after iraq. whould the motor swap kill me? i heard the 5.0 into a ranger is pretty easy except for the headers, and isnt a 5.8 the same block kinda as a a 5.0? and are there any swap kits for this or anyone with experiance doing this?
