It's that simple?  Never would have guessed.  I assumed there would be
sensor and wire harness changes.  Man, that makes all the difference. 
There are some things I want to change like the idle settings (too high
right now, like 1050 rpm).  So I can go get a '747 ECM, and a copy of a
prom from a 350 truck, and I'll be set to go?  And I can keep the 6965
under the seat for emergency backup?  Too cool. Thanks, Bruce  <picks up

ps, still curious to hear from the original poster about before-n-after.
