Engine swap. 2001 to 2004 2.7

Hello guys! New here.

I have a 2004 Boxster Base 2.7 manual with the M96.23 engine. Ah the good ol IMS bearing decided to go and skip timing.


I got a hold of a 2001 2.7 M96.22 engine fully dressed with harness, accessories, maf, etc...with only 45K miles. I noticed that the valve cover is shaped differently and the sensor for the cam timing is in a diff place. Doing more research i see there is a pretty good diff in between these 2 engines as far as cam chains, DME etc..

Question:
What would it take to install this engine (2001 M96.22) in to my 2004 which had the M96.23?
What do I need to modify, replace, purchase, or transfer?

Think you again for your time.

Added pics for flavor!
