Should be an easy swap, the computer will have to be tuned to work with the larger engine.

The computer is tuned by replacing or updating the MEMCAL module. There are tuners that specialize in rewiting the MEMCAL, you tell them waht you have and want to do, and they will rewrite the MEMCAL. For a fee, of course.
