Rebuilding advise on crankshaft 2001 into 1998

Got an 996 engine with failed connection rods and probably crankshaft as it is ticking like crazy. The engine is from MY1998.

I also got an engine from 2001 with crack in cylinder sleeve but further ok.

Now is my question is it possible to use the MY2001 crankshaft into a MY1998 engine.

Are there any differences? What else to watch out for when replacing crankshaft? I know it is not the best approach for rebuilding but this is all I got.

Thanks!

You might have to make sure the IMS shaft mates to the crankshaft. I would contact Charles at LN Engineering to make sure. I repaired my case halves with him. (He might be able to get that sleeve fixed)
