Same routine I'm going through with son and engine swap on a 88 4runner: computers won't match. There are however places online that can reprogram but the smog places are restricted to tail pipe emissions and seeing if the obd system reports READY/OK. serial number only makes the mechanic not have to find, copy and report the one on the dash.
All the computers I have come across prior to 2015 don't have embedded non changeable serial numbers, would fubar a non dealer repair shop doing a swap.
So I would go see if thats an actual requirement. I would also research spoofing various sensors: fuel pressure, O2 pre cat, TPS, rpm what have you

First question: 1988 4runner?? Did it even have a PCM??
I believe these 03 Can be programed with the VIN, but that cost$ and may also need to be reprogrammed to the Key as well. Vin I am told is required.
I am giving spoofing a serious look into...
As for your tag Line: "There are some "experts" out there that in reality don't have a clue as to what they are doing."
I break Experts as EX: past tense, and perts: a drip under pressure...
