Yes, the motor mounts will bolt onto the frame, but you will have to likely change the transmission and engine computer, as well as the drive shaft due to the difference in the output shaft length from the transmission.

When this is done, the A/C, for example, may require a different hose assembly as the distances from firewall to bracket may change.
