The caveat there, of course, is that some heavy duty vehicles shared engines with light duty vehicles. For instance, the Ford 300 inline 6 was used in 2-ton dump trucks, mated to the same 4 speed that came in the F-series trucks of the 70's and early 80's, before EFI was introduced to them.

Cummins and IH are also prime candidates for HD/LD swaps, because many of those engines were also cross-installed by OEM's.
