Will everything match, will I have problems?

Should be a straight forward swap. Make sure that you mark every line, hose and connection on both vehicles. If and when you have to cut lines/wires, cut the excess on the doner vehicle. Don't cut short on the recipient. Pictures, Pictures, Pictures. Take pictures of both engines and connections prior to starting. These make the swap out easier as you can use them for connection reference. Good luck and let us know how you make out.
