Default PCM swap..

The tuner said he cannot dyno tune the '97 because of the present PCM but he can if I update it.
Can I swap the PCM out of my '97 with a later PCM 1999/2000 and is it a plug and play. Will it be drivable right after the swap is made?
Thanks,
Rsty

I'm in same boat. Even considered buying lsedit for myself and letting tuner do his thing.

I'll bet a new PCM will be a heck of a lot more than just buying the software for your car.

The pin outs are different. They will not swap.
