it will fit in the engine compartment, but the step into the unknown is the motor mounts and oil pan clearance between the stock K-member and the steering linkage. I am sure it can be done, but it will probably require much fabrication. It will not ne a "bolt in" swap. Also what trans do you plan on using? If you plan on using your present trans a adaptor plate will be needed, if you plan on using the 2013 trans then the trans crossmember and mount will need to be made.
It would be a nice combo but not main stream.
Anouther thing to consider is the head width of the DOHC engine.
