I have a donor '92 motor for my '97

I bought a complete '92 car this weekend and towed it home (500 miles) so I can replace the motor in my '97 that has spun crankshaft bearings. These are are my 1st and 2nd SVX's, the '97 was bought in June. I'm hoping that this doesn't become a habit... ;-)

Anyway, is there any advice you can give me to pass on to my mechanic so I'm sure he gets this transplant sorted out OK?

For example, he thinks the different engine monitoring systems in the '92 will be a problem. Earlier advice from here basically said to plug and play. Is it really that simple?

Thanks,
