It won't match and with all the computers and modules you'd have a ton of headaches if it did ,

The electronics will be the biggest problem. You'd have to swap the wiring, computers, etc. and even then there's a good chance it won't run. My advice is replace the vehicle, not the engine and transmission. Jim
