This all depends on what the cars year is your taking the 2.0 engine out of. You can't put in an engine from anything more then a year or 2 older or newer in. I think the only compatible modals wit ha 2004 is 2002 - 2004 if i'm correct. If you put anouther engine in be sure to put something in the same year or as closest the same engine as possible.

Just wondering if you did this and how it went if you did. I have an 2002 that I hate to get rid of but for sure will need a new engine soon
