Damn Isaac, sorry to hear about your engine. Is this a recent fade that a lot of guys are doing down here? You're the second guy I know that has blown his engine.
About re-using the computer, I have no idea.
Good luck to ya, let me know if I can help out.

Last year I put a new LS6 5.7L assembled block in my 98 PCM wired & controlled engine compartment. Everything is interchangeable. Only minor difference found was that I had to shim the power steering pump assembly out a bit (maybe (3/32") in order to align the belt to the pulley. Also, make damn sure that the dumbell shaped oil restrictor/seal is installed into the hole on the rear drivers side of the block (under the rear block cover).
