Default 97 or 98 Fbody PCM into 97 Vette?

My PCM in my 97 Vette took a crap on me. I have an F-body PCM from a 97-98 that will bolt right in, but the features to control the drive by wire and TAC module are obviously not there.

A friend (pretty smart) has told me that we can just reprogram the F-body unit and "unlock" those features as it is essentially the same PCM and all of those features are there, just not turned on because the Fbody had a throttle cable setup. So we just reprogram it, pretty much turning it into a Corvette PCM. Has anyone done this or know if it is true?

So long as this is an unmodded car he can do that for sure! If it's modded or plan to mod, go with a newer 01+ PCm for better tunabilty.
