IT is very close. You may have to add a act temp sensor in the intake. You can run without it, many have.
Where are you located? Search the web for turbo swaps on 2.3 ford. Many have done it and had great cars.

Ebay and get a la3 or la2. You can also get one from autozone for about $100
You can find a PE for about $200. A few have used the stock computer and tuned it to work. Hard to get the information from them that did it.

I have use both and found nothing changed. The programs are in different spots but the timing and fuel are the same.
