Not easily. The blocks are the same, the heads are different.
The bolts don't line up quite right, the intake runners are in slightly different spots, and you would have to take the distributor too, which rotates backwards on the 2.9 because of different cam gear cuts.
What exactly is the point of this anyway? And don't say "Because I don't like/trust fuel injection" or "Because FI is some evil government plot to control our lives."
If you have a truck that was originally equipped with a 2.8 that blew up and you have access to a 2.9, it will probably be easier to swap to FI.

carb a 2.9? but why?
wouldnt a custom upper intake manifold be all that was required (other than running fuel lines, throttle cable and all that other crap for the carb)
