The modular engines have the same bellhousing bolt pattern so they will bolt up.
You may have to line up the transmission mounts but that is not a big problem.
You may not like the gear ratios. 1st gear on he T45 is only 3.27:1 and the M5OD is 3.90:1. The T45 will only support 325ft/lbs of torque. Not much more than the M5OD. While the other Tremic transmissions will support more torque the gear ratios are not suitable for a truck.
