P72 will have the mapping needed for a gsr while a p28 will need to be chipped in order to run the proper map. Both are perfectly capable of doing the job. What is your reasoning for swapping ecu's?

If your in a state with emission testing, you will fail with a obd1 ecu.

Re: OBD2 to OBD1 ECU swap

if you have the stock intake manifold, then a p72 is the only answer.
