You do not need to change the computer. It is a direct swap in. Just switch intakes as the 3.2s have EGR and yours doesnt, same for the rear headers, or just cap them off.

It is very rare to blow a head gasket with these cars.

Do some searches here. There are a number of different ways to do the transplant and the process and amount of effort and disassembly differ greatly between them. It's all been discussed here ad nauseum many, many times over. Please search first so that people will be better able to help you.
