   BE CAREFUL.  You are going to have an engine computer that matches the   
   engine, otherwise you won't be emissions-legal and might have a computer   
   that will damage the engine.  For example the 2005 uses a drive-by wire   
   throttle, not sure about earlier.  If you do have a computer that goes   
   with the engine you are not out of the woods yet, the computer has to   
   match up with the rest of the electrial system as well.   
      
   Personally I wouldn't try it unless I had heard from someone who had   
   succeeded in this operation.  It is in the "difficult" class as far as   
   mods go, Expect to spend a lot of time deciphering wiring diagrams.   
   Maybe somewhere on the net there is a compatibility chart for this sort   
   of thing.
