In theory, yes. The engine will power the truck perfectly well.

However, engines have mount points, places where the engine is secured to the truck. Most likely, the 8-cyl will not fit the mounts where the 6-cyl once was; it's just a bigger engine. You could get very lucky and have them match, but it's not likely. Your best bet is another 6-cylinder engine from another nearly identical car (i.e., the year is only different by one or two). Websites exist that will tell you the engine number and which ones are compatible with each other. It is also possible to buy adapters to bolt a suspension from a Ford onto a Chevy frame and engine, but that doesn't sound like what you're asking.
