Hey what book do you have that details engine swaps? You can purchase a combustion gas test kit from NAPA to check your head gasket

It won't work - the way the ECM looks at the crankshaft position sensors is totally different. I think some of the mounts were changed also. Even if you could get it to bolt up, it would be impossible to get the engine electronics to function properly.

It would be better to repair the existing engine.
