Question 180 pump be replaced with a 215?

Can a 180 pump be replaced with a 215? The reason I asked is that someone told me there was a difference in the engine setup also?

As far as I know the only differences in the motors that originally came with the 180hp and the 215hp pumps would be injectors and piston ring height. Theres no problem at all installing a 215hp pump on that truck. The guts of the pump are obviously different. Probably mostly in the lift of the cam.
