I have a nice 99 4.6HSE with a very sick engine and I also have a 96 scruffy 4.6HSE with a RPI engineering uprated GEMS lump with 50k on the clock. Can any one tell me the problems I'll need to overcome to do the swap?

I seem to remember crank sensor is different-it's quite possible I'm having a moment but gems and thor engine swap I seem to remember this issue.

I think that I may have to use the bare engine and swap everything over from the Thor, electrics, injection etc.
Do you know if there are differences between the bare engines?
