It should be a direct swap. Was the new engine running fine before you installed it in your truck? Are the pi heads an upgrade or just stock spec replacements? Is the roughness a low idle, a miss, or? A CEL is a check engine light which signifies it is throwing a code. If you have a code reader, or can take it somewhere to have the codes read, it would narrow it down. As much info as you can provide, the better our answers can be. Could be as simple as a missed vacuum line.
