It really doesn't matter what year, but to make it easy, find a 99, and grab the PCM and engine wiring harness. Your 5.2 PCM won't control a 5.9 without special tuning, such as Hemifever SCT.

If you got the 1994 engine, you will need to swap your injectors, and all sensors over from your 99 and get the PCM tuned.

The engine would run, but your instrument cluster, and possibly transmission, would not.

^Yeah. +1

You need a 99+ PCM IIRC, for everything to work properly.

A 99 or 00 PCM, in 01 they changed PCMs, a 98.5 should work as well.

Should work. If you have the time, you will want to put your intake manifold off your current engine onto the new engine though, it will have the correct temp sensor locations and won't have EGR or the center divider.
