We only recommend direct fit parts. What happens when you change years, even if the engine is the same size, there always seem to be differences. They change sensor locations and types all the time which lead to problems. If the engine is a different size, everything needs changeds, computer, vacuum harness, wiring harness, mounts, possible transmission...
