What needs to be changed when swapping a 2011 5.7 into a 2015 5.7?

Looking to buy a 2015 "vehicle" with a junk 5.7. The engine is taken apart and assumed to be junk. I have a 2011 5.7 that I would like to install in it place.
Do I need to install basically all of the sensors, etc., from the 2015 to the 2011 engine? what about the reluctor?
Anything else?

Or is better to just swap everything regardless.

Thanks
Mike

This was attempted but with a 2017, given the control architecture of the trucks changed in 2013 I think this still applies.
