B234 into Viggen

Well, Im pretty sure my engine is completely destroyed. Shop says pistons, rings, head job, etc. Basically a new engine is in store for my Viggen. Looked up used Viggen engines and they're just too expensive, and considering the worthless pistons and number of deserved/undeserved complete engine failures I've seen, I'd like to replace it with the (cheaper) b234 from the 2.3t 9000.
My heads are worthless, so I'd want to convert the t5 head to work with my t7 system. This is my biggest fear and my most important question: how do I get a t5 engine to work with a t7 ecu? I can likely swap over the Viggen intake manifold, and anything else on the engine that I need, so that helps, right?
I've read that the Oil Pan, Timing Cover, and accessories from my Vig motor would have to be switched onto the new engine.
Just priced a '96+ 9k 2.3 engine and it's 1/3 of the price of a used vig motor at $1k with 95,000 miles on it. The '96+ should be OBDII so will have both cam and crank position sensors. Before putting her in, I'd want to change the timing chain and probably some of the harder to get to seals.
Do any of you have experience with this type of swap? Are any of the different necessary sensors for T7 located in the block or head itself?
Thanks for all of you help!!
