Want to swap out my 1zz-fe

i have a 2006 Corolla S that has about 225k on it and was wanting to swap the engine instead of buying a new car. I was looking into a 2015 mustang ecoboost. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions?

I will just have to say, the newer the engine and computer modules are, the more complicated engine swaps get. You may run into issues getting everything working as they should, given that computer modules all over the car communicate with each other.

It sounds like you may have a lot of research ahead of you.

Also, I have to ask, why do you want to do this instead of just replacing the engine you have now with the same type of engine?
