Default Motor swap, different ecu

I just finished a motor swap on my 01 is300, as I was plugging my ecu in I noticed the plugs were different. The motor is from an 03 is300. Is there any way I could still make this work? I would lake to use my original ecu, but also need to use the wire harness from the 03.

01 and 02-05 are completely and absolutely different. They cannot be adapted to work on the other harness. Even if you swap engine harnesses you would still have to swap out every chasis harness and every computer.
you need to reinstall the 03 harness and ECU, that is your only option.
