Generally speaking, the wiring gets more complicated with each generation difference between donor and project. You're looking at a 3 generations newer engine so it would take some wiring. In addition, there is newer OBDII hardware that the 05 PCM will be looking for that is not your 96. I'm no sure what all is different but one example is the Evap Leak Check system. A couple of members here have run into that with 5.0 swaps. You would also need to convert the fuel system to returnless to use the 2005 PCM in the 96 truck. I'm not sure but I think there is also a slight bell housing bolt pattern difference between SOHC and OHV.

The thing is that I used to have an 02 and really miss the power of the SOHC. Was hoping the swap wouldn't be too bad to just throw in the SOHC engine and 5spd but I SHOULD have known it wouldn't have been so easy. ha ha. Guess I'll just wait for awhile and throw in a few extra cylinders while I'm at it. This thing is a wheeler anyways, do you happen to know if it throws a S*** fit without the cats by chance?
