    Welcome to the forum Sean!!

    You will need a computer programmed for the new engine. You may be able to have your existing one reprogrammed but I am unsure of that.

    Your buddy is probably right. Maybe you can find a complete motor, tranny, and wiring harness, and if your lucky the motor mounts and exhaust too oh and radiator. You might try LKQ automotive. They are a nation wide used parts dealer. They buy wrecked vehicles at auction and part them out. I bet you would come out cheaper selling yours and finding one already lifted with an Inline 6. Good luck.
