"A couple of extra solenoids" could mean a different ECU, different wiring and maybe different external sensors. Replacement would be easier than digging into the harness and trying to find the correct ECU that will probably come from overseas. Will that ECU work with the VATS system in the US? Will it communicate with the 4wd ECU? US cluster? A couple of extra solenoids can add up to a lot more work than you think.
