Hi,

Physically, they will interchange, but the engines are different sizes. That will require you to change wiring harnesses, vacuum harnesses, engine and trans mounts, control modules, and basically anything that is related to the engine and or trans. If it is 4WD, drive shafts may be a little difficult as well.

Let me know if that helps or if you have other questions.
