Couple things here. First off, why? After that, here are some things to keep in mind, should you choose to tackle this:

2.5 runs 5.2 DME with a cable throttle

3.2 runs 7.2 DME, with E-Gas.

To make the 3.2 play in the 2.5 car, you're going to have to re-wire and re-pin parts of the harness, add the E-Gas throttle to the pedal box, and make the other physical changed needed.

Perhaps you have your reasoning, but I don't see why this would be a project worth under taking. If anything, to put the 3.2 in the 2.5 car, I would be inclined to just get a 3.4 cable throttle body, and flash the 5.2 DME as a 3.4.
