Yes there will definitely be a power difference if you do the swap.  To my knowledge, the 16 valve has the same exact block as the the 8 valve.  Only the head and the electricals  are different.  So the mounts should be the same.  So you will need the engine with with all the accessories, wiring harness and the ecm.  Keep us posted if you do the swap.
