Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon Engine Swaps
I plan to do the above swap soon. Anyone have any info for me? Mounts, harness compatibility, flywheel etc etc?

If you're bent on doing something like this, I would think a GenIII V-8 swap would be easier/more practical. There are dozens of wrecked Camaros, Firebirds, and Corvettes to get the engine and computer management from, and lots of aftermarket computer support shops.
Hmm: SAME bolt pattern, probably same mounts, same ECU. Where's the difficulty in moving a rad ahead and rerouting the exhaust?
This is a light truck and I don't want a gas guzzling heavy V8 in it. There is no need. The I6 should have been in there in the first place.
Does anyone have any information about potential problems that might be encountered upgrading to a 2009 engine in a 2004 2wd 5mt 3.5L? I would hope to reuse the entire original exhaust system (may need to match exhaust ports), ECM, and other original external parts except for the alternator. This is a California emissions truck so it must look & function as original.
My truck has the original cylinder head (still OK), 112,000 miles, & is used for a lot of towing. The cylinder head issue keeps me nervous and needs to be resolved. I keep my vehicles until they are totally used up; my old Suburban had 460,000 hard miles.
