Should be, however the plumbing for intake and exhaust as well as throttle cables etc may well be differentdue to the different configurations of the coupe and sedans. Make sure to hold ontoall that stuff from the engine to be swapped. It might be a good time to check if the engine you are swapping in has the single row or double row cam chains. If it still has the single row cam chains, now would bea great time to do the double row upgrade.[/align][/align]Regards,[/align][/align]Will[/align]
