I will get in trouble if I answer that question. The computer may or may not work. Remember, the sensors for the crank, cam... could be different. As a result, it may not run or run poorly.

The bottom line, sometimes people get lucky and it works with no trouble and other times, they go crazy to get things to work. That is why we are to say, Direct Fit Only.
