There's a chance in #ell there's a warranty or recall , look into it . .It's usually best to go with what the vehicle was designed for

Nope. Totally incompatible. 10 year old vehicle may have difficulty finding parts. You maybe stuck with used components. Try Summit Racing, they might have a crate motor for it.
