Anything is possible. However, we only recommend direct fit parts. WHen you change from year to year, you end up with trouble. Even if it is the same size engine, there are usually problems with the sensors working. If it is a different size engine, then everything needs changed, mounts, vacuum lines, wiring harnesses, computers...

What ends up happening (in many cases) you end up with different problems, a ton of money spent, a lot of time spent, and very frustrated.
