Convert 496 H.O. Mercruiser to MAG

Looking to convert a Mercruiser HO to a MAG. Had to buy a HO because a Mag was not available at the time. The HO power band is bad for my application. I have a 496 mag in my garage that I can pull the cam and pcm from. Is this all it would take to revert back?

Swap the throttle body too if swapping cam and pcm. I believe some HO applications had a larger air hole in throttle plate. IMO, stick with HO setup. Torque curves between mag and ho are very similar.

are you looking to sell the pcm or other parts form the ho?
