The swap means you have to either change or adapt the wiring harness.
I´ve done a few swaps when people wanted a v8 and there´s some work involved...having a complete running drivetrain is great.
If your friend gives you a good price on it maybe it´s a cost effective solution.

Not only is it burning oil, it is leaking from every seal and the valve cover has a portion that is bubbling out tiny bubbles and seeping oil there too

Fully operational chassis and drivetrain

Yeah. I think more cost effective at the moment and very little drivetrain

My truck was just re-wired for 12 volt and should be easy enough to re-wire but:

I’m wide open for any input please and thanks!!!
