OM603 question

So after 2 days of reading I think my head is about to explode, I have a 93 300sd with a bad bottom end and a good 603.961 short block laying around.... question is, is it a simple as swapping over the Head, accessories, oil pan and pickup, manifolds, turbo, pump.....? Do I use the head gasket for the 3.0 or the 3.5?

Thanks

should be that simple.
I'd use the 603 gasket for use with the head casting you are putting on. (17/18/22...)
