Hi,
Yes, you can swap them, but it will come with a price. As you are likely already aware, the engine will fit. However, it is a 2001 engine, and your vehicle is completely set up differently. For example, things like the fuel injectors will be different, the intake and all of the sensors related to things such as engine coolant temperature, oil pressure, variable valve timing will not exist on the older engine, and so on. You will need different exhaust manifolds, intake will need changed, vacuum-related components, wiring/sensors, and somehow, we need to get the PCM in the recipient vehicle to recognize everything so that it will run properly, pass federal emissions, and so on.
So overall, anything is possible. However, this type of changeover is difficult. If you were trying to place the 2015 engine into the 2001, it would actually be easier simply because there are fewer components.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have questions.
Take care,
Joe
