Are there any significant differences between a 95 and 97 7.3?

[lonesome7.3]

I have a 1997 F350 donor truck I bought for the front end swap on my 95 F350. The 7.3 that is in it is complete. I want to pull that engine and get in on an engine stand and build it over time. When it is done I would like to perform a direct swap into my 95. Are there any changes I should be aware of that may prevent this swap? Will the wiring harness in my 95 plug right in and work like it is supposed to? When I go to buy parts later, can I simply buy parts for a 95 Ford? (You know how stupid some of the counter people are at parts stores.) Well, let me know if this is an easy task or if I should simply shut my truck down and use the engine that is in it.

Yes they should be the same.As far as i know they didn't change anything physically until they went with the single electrical fuel pump in 98.Yours should be in tank electric and mechanical on engine.

No in-tank electric pumps on the OBS PSD trucks, just the one (2-stage) in the engine valley. Cheers!
