The only difference between black top and silver top is tappets and water pump so any electronics between the two should work

Iirc you also need the right injectors and maf to go with the ecu and also a lambda sensor in the exhaust. I could be wrong though and they are interchangeable but had problems between swapping 1800 and 2000 silvertop parts before.

Silverton engine sensors don't work with blacktop ecu either, you'll need to change all the electronics over.

Only ones would be crank and cam sensors?

Sounds good to me. Sensors should be fine to get online.
