Default Engine swap compatibility from Distributor capped engine to coil packed engine

So ive recently blown the engine in my 98 4.0l and need an engine swap, ive had one offered to me for bargain price but its out of a 2001 model and has coil packs instead of a distributor cap like my previous engine. Was wondering what obstacles i might run into if i was to swap out my old one with this coil packed engine?

There will be head port differences and 2001s were prone to head cracking.....
