I'm not one to talk because my grammar is horrible, but at least try to word your questions better if you want a realistic response. Its very hard to understand what you are trying to say. It gives people a headache, and most will not even attempt to make sense of it.

Assuming you do the swap correctly and have all the same sensors hooked up that were hooked up pre-swap, you shouldn't have any problem getting that engine BAR'ed.
