Question 351w Engine swap

Hello guys i have a 1990 f250 with a ceased 351W and we recently bought a 1994 f250 with the 351w, and we are in the middle of doing the swap. I need to know what components i need to swap from the 1990's motor to make it fully compatible with the trucks wiring. Ive been told already that i will need to swap distributors, anything else? Thank you guys for your help and opinions.

The 94 may have a roller cam in it. If it does, then you'll need to use the 94 distributor. Pull a valve cover, then one rocker arm, pull the pushrod out and measure it. The roller pushrods are about 7.5 inches long. Everything else should be the same.

Yes it is a roller motor, and i was aware of the distributor change. Is there anything else that your aware of that will take modification to make the motor compatible?
