For clarification, a "short block" refers to the engine block and rotating assembly. A "long block" refers to the shortblock plus heads, it does not include the intake exhaust or oil pan. So yes you can swap over the long block. The block is the same, you are right about lower compression. The oil pump is internal and I think a higher volume otherwise the same. The oil pan, pickup and dipstick might need to be swapped I have no idea what the J has. The TT uses an "oil tree" as such there is no detent ball in the block at the oil filter, unless the J uses some sort of filter adapter thats something you'd need to look at changing. The TT has much larger injectors so you'll need to change those out for sure. The COp's PTU, CAS, CHTS etc are all the same, although the oil sender might be in a different location as this is an issue on the n/a to TT swap as well, it's easy to move you just have to swap it with the plug in the alternate location.
