van engine ignition

Sent to Car Experts September 16, 2005 11:33 p.m.

I have a 95 windstar with an electronic ignition 3.8L engine...I also have a 93 Taurus with a 3.8L with a reg distributer ignition can I swap the 93 engine into the 95 van and just change out the distributer and coil pack to the full electronic ignition with no other changes?
