Will a transmission out of a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 fit a 1992 Dakota 5.2 ltr?

Good morning,
Will it fit? Yes. Will it work, no?
The 1997 is OBD controlled by electronics. The 1992 has OBD1 technology and does not have the controls.

Physically it would fit, however it would not actually operate as the Dakota wouldn't have the electronics needed to make it function properly.
