5.9 swap

I swapped my 5.9 motor from 96 single cab to a 98 sport 4x4. It motor sounds good but seems I'm not getting power to the wheel. Transmission is automatic and I didnt change the computer. I assumed both being 5.9 and close enough in production it wouldn't matter. Also I bought the sport used without a motor.

Not getting power to the wheel? Do you mean no power steering?

This is hard to understand. Can you explain better?

Correct oil level in the transmission? You did bolt the torque converter to the flexplate?
