The computer only cares about the electronic components. But there are a lot of differences in the accessories and their mounting brackets, and those all have to be dealt with for the everything to mount up properly. Its entirely possible to do it, but its not a direct bolt-on swap, quite a bit of detail work involved.

I swapped a 97 motor into my 87. It would be easier to use your existing trans and t-case. For the engine you need to use the Renix flex plate, intake, and exhaust. Id recommend swapping over to the newer style cooling system without the pressure tank.
