The engine should fit but you may have some fun with the looms. Take the loom complete from the J engine and compare it with the H engine loom. You may well need the ECU's for the J engine and immobiliser along with the key chips to get it to run properly.

Can only second what he says, let the looms, the lot, and fingers crossed you'd be fine. Im sure there will be fun and games to come, though!
