Default m42 to m44 conversion

I have a 318i with a blown M42 OBD1 engine, I found a good M44 engine and tranny with half the miles. I want to install this and figure the best approach is to convert this back to OBD1 with all the manifold and sensor parts etc from the original.
I've looked and posted on other sites and am getting mixed responses anywhere from just plug it in, (Which I know won't work) to it can't be done which I also know not to be true.
Problem is I can't find anyone who has actually done it and can give me a list of the things that need to be done or what to watch out for.
I've also seen some information on converting from OBD2 to OBD1 which in essence is exactly the same as what I'm trying to do. I have access to all the parts from either system OBD1 or 2 but would prefer to put the effort in converting this engine to OBD1.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Randy
