Engine Swap Help Needed

I'm just throwing this out there to see if anyone has
any other ideas. I recently purchased a 00 R/T that
had done a little roof racing.

The plan is to swap the engine into my Jeep Wrangler.
The mounts, tranny, exhaust and all the standard stuff
is pretty straight forward but I've run into a
compatability issue with the computers.

It seems the Dakota (2000) uses a CCD bus where my
Jeep (2002) uses a PCI making the Dakota computer and
the Jeep body incompatable. Monday I intend to call B
& G and see it they can flash the Jeep PCM with the
5.9 program. If so, I sound be in business. If not,
I'm looking at replacing the IP and the airbag control
module in the Jeep with a 2000 or older one.

So, do this sound logical, anyone have an easier way
to go about this?

Thanks,
Wayne
