      How do you swap a 06 or later engine into an 05?

      I just purchase a 130,00 mile 05 which needs and engine replacment due to timing belt failure. What must change to install a later engine into an 05? Is it posssible to just keep the intake and sensors form the 05 engine?

      What is a good place to buy a used engine?

      Thanks

      you can swap an 06-08 engine in. you will need to interchange a few things..

      ebay works if you dont have a better local source.

      the intake and throttle might actually be the same, they both are dbw, etc.. i know the pcv system varies, along with a few minor things...

      this thread documents it pretty well:
