Friend of mine is trying to install a 2002 8.1 into his 99 2500 suburban (also 454) that blew up. Says the heads among other things are different. What would he need to do/mod/buy to make the newer engine work? Would the existing computer and harness work? Or would it be cheaper to rebuild the 99 engine?

Everything trans, mounts, exhaust should be the same, nothing on the intake side is...
