Bought a motor with a busted timing cover on it. XR3E-6C086-BB timing cover, 2001 Romeo Mustang GT 4.6 single bolt tensioner.

I'm about to pull my junk stock 1997 GT 4.6 engine out with the timing cover that has the 3 bolt tensioner, different belt path etc. F6AE-6D080-BC timing cover.

this swap doable? are there differences in pulleys and belt length between the two? 3 bolt tensioner a upgrade? should I swap all the pulleys minus the harmonic ballancer and run the stock serpentine belt for the 97 setup on the 01 GT 4.6? thanks, Jason

Pic of engine i'm gonna be putting in.
