Especially if the wagon is a stickshift, I can't think of anything that would be different from a stickshift RWD 2.5L and a stickshift RWD 3.0L with a set of cams in in it. Swapping over the ECU should take care of the engine software and nothing else is changing right?
Im not particularly well versed on the ins and outs of OBD-II so I'm just spitballing, but it seems logical.  |
Yeah Slim said it pretty well. AS long as it's stick shift and the transmission matches the wiring harness you should be fine. If the computer was originally auto than all you'd have to do is set it to manual from the factory with programming.
