It will be probably twice the cost to buy and swap an m97 along with the dme and immobilizer compared to just replacing the variocam acutators and doing an ims fix on your otherwise working motor, although you will recoup some of that difference is you sell your current motor. Jon's link is a good one, there is minimal rewiring but it must be done right.

keep in mind that the ims problem still persists on the m97 motor, and some of them (i don't remember the specifics) CANNOT BE FIXED because the case has to be split in order to access the bearing.
