What do you mean by change?? You need the engine and ECU, axles and midshaft, new linkage, motor mounts, a little wiring,etc. Does this answer your question?? No its not as easy as 1-2-3. Actually it is that easy but for some it may not be.

BTW thats a very stupid question. Yes you really have to change things. Like the engine. I dont quite understand what you mean.

theres really not much to it if you know what youre doing...all the info u need is located on this site...but your gonna get no love making multiple threads, asking questions that are already covered in the FAQ sticky at the top of the page...its a pretty straightforward swap...but i encourage you to read as much as you can before you go tearin up your car.
