Unfortunately, they are not identical. The engines are similar, but 1996 was the beginning of the conversion to the On-Board Diagnostic II (OBD II) system, pre-1996 was OBD I. OBD II can be programmed via a programmer, OBD I cannot.

There is also the mopar performance PCM, which can be had for around 200 bucks, if you search hard enough.
