wiring harness question

hey ppl. new guy here with a question. i currently have several '93 ford f350's(one a 7.3L diesel and the other a 460 gas) and one '92 f250 with a bad 7.3L. the one 350 has a bad frame but a good 460 motor and 4spd tranny with 4wd transfer case and PTO for a dump. i want to swap out the bad 7.3 and tranny in the 250 and replace it with the 460 from the 350 with the bad frame. my question is this: can i use the wiring harness already there in the diesel pickup and just change the starter circuit from glowplug warmup to a choke? i realize this is an oversimplification and i didn't mention anything about the computer differences. just wondered if i had to change out the whole harness. thanks for any and all replies.

yes, you will need to swap out the gas wiring harnes and computer. the 93 diesel did not have an engine computer.
