You should be able to put it in. Its going to be a few mods. Probably have new engine mount and might have to fabricate some new spots for it. Also you would probably have to change the tranny if you do that.

no, youc an't "just swap" it. though you can put it in, the electronic systems on these cars make it vertually pointless to swap them if you want a solid daily driver.depending on what your issue was, you can get another short block for 500 or so, then you just have to have it installed.

where you from, i have a guy in San Jose that built my engine and is currently swapping the bottom end of another guys 2.3 who spun a bearing. we just use focus engines as they are pretty plentiful. though if you have an '05+ i think it might be a bit different.
