Sure, but is the engine a really good deal? Others suggested using a 9000 engine if you are going to reuse your head. There are some that believe that the short block was a little better on the 9000. You have to use a thicker head gasket though. I might be more inclined to find a later model engine without the head gasket issues. I have a 2005 Aero engine in a 99 9-5. So, the sky is the limit on what you what you can attempt. Yes the PCV system and intake tube was a hassle. I had make some serious adaptations but have my fingers gross that I can avoid a CEL. I am hopefully wrapping things up with it soon.
