* Engine Code: The engine code (found on a sticker on the engine block or in your owner's manual) must be the same or at least compatible. Different engines of the same displacement (e.g., a 3.0L V6) might have slight variations that could create problems with mounting or wiring.
* Automatic vs. Manual Transmission: Ensure both cars have the same type of transmission (automatic or manual). The engine and transmission are matched, and switching one could require more than just swapping the engine.
* Specific Model Variations: While generally compatible, there might be very minor differences between specific trims or options within the SE model. Double-checking these points is always best.
In short: It's highly probable, but you absolutely *must* verify the engine codes are compatible before attempting the swap. A professional mechanic can confirm this easily. A simple mismatch could lead to significant difficulties during installation.
