Russ:
Chances are they are the same basic engine. However, there will be differences with things like sensors, vacuum lines, motor mounts, maybe injectors. We always recommend a direct replacement. But if you compare them and they look identical, it should work. Also, take the sensors from the old engine and install them in the new one. You may also have to change the injectors, intake.

I'm trying to be as honest as I can. I would expect things to be different and require changing, but the basic engine (if the exact same size) should be the same.

Let me know how it goes for you.
