i think it has the same motor mounts and everything. i havent done the swap but from what ive heard its an easy swap to do because its the same block and drops right in.you might want to hear it from one of the guys on here who have done it though. i know there are quite a few people who have done that swap.

I've thought about it a time or two and did some reading on it last night. If you go with any number of 4v's you will need to make a decision on what you're going to do with your computer. If you go with the 4v harness and ECU, you have to find a way to wire it all up. You have to change the fuel system and tank, you have to change out the guage cluster, and you have to make some other modifications pertaining to the harness. If you stick with the 2v ECU and harness, you can get hook it up, but you will need to dyno tune the new set-up.

I could very well be mistaken, I'm only going from a single thread I remember seeing.
