Ill have to do this later around 6pm. is this the only cause that will fix this problem?
Yes it can be unplugged from underneath, the plug sits on top of the transmission. I'm currently having the exact same issue with my front O2 sensor. It's sitting at my house now waiting for the new stainless steel cat pipe to come in.

If by "fit" you mean swap the engines, then not without an enormous amount of time, money, and custom work.

The upstream o2 sensor
