There actually is a lot of stuff to change as the ECU compares serial numbers between several other things in the car. It IS possible, but it depends on how well equipped and experienced the mechanic is. I'd get something in writing from him to guarantee his work before handing over any money, or even your car.

all you need to do is make sure the engine number is the same. just cause you have a 272 engine and the other car has a 272 doesnt mean it will work. you have to match the full engine number. there are different variations of the 272 engine to fit different cars and with different options.
