you will certainly need the st170 ecu and engine loom and even then you may well have problems as the st170 fuel pump is coded to the ecu so got knows how that would work on your conversion.
it certainly is doable swapping the lot over.
oh and you'll need full st170 exhaust system too.
this is a fairly big conversion imo
i thought the st170 was 20mm lower
