Can I put a 2rz in my 97 4x4 5 speed?

So I need a motor for my non-running taco. Today I found a 2rz with trans(5spd), computer, radiator and some other accs for $650. Can I remove the trans and computer and install the motor onto the 3rz computer and trans, without any problems?

This 2rz is from a 98 tacoma and 30k.

The 2RZ needs to have it`s own computer then you would need to rewire as needed

The 2rz and 3rz are relatively the same thing. The 3rz is just bored out a little bit.

The engine itself will bolt in, and bolt up to your current trans just fine. How it will run with the 3RZ computer is something I'm not sure of.
