it would technically fit, but too many little things wouldnt line up perfectly. for example, theres an engine mount that houses the cv joint below. the bolt patter might be different. also the ecus dont match. even if you were to break it down to the block and build on it. you would have to seal off oil passages.
basically becxause not too many people do this kind of thing, its up to you to see if its worth the hassles you'll come across. and if youve never done an engine swap, i dont suggest trying one w/o someone with experience.

Sounds like you got your hands full... wanted to wish you luck with your endeavors, be sure to report back with updates once you make the leap... this sounds like an interesting project. Out of curiousity is this is you main vehicle or a side project? Good luck!
