2.4 Engine swap! :D

So i have a quick question, my 08 LE5 blew up and i was told to get a 06-07 LE5 cause is has forged internals. Will the 06-07 Le5 bolt right up to my tranny and motor mounts? and what is better a 06 or and 07 LE5? thanks

Yes, it will bolt right up. 06 or 07 shouldnt matter as long as it has the factory forged rods. Casting #'s are as listed below...

2006-2007: 12596088 A 2.4-B/P (LE5), (1ST DES) ROD, CONN (FORGED STEEL W/ROUNDED EDGES ON CAP AND MFG TRIM MARK AROUND OUTER PERIMETER) (FOR 2ND DES SEE 12611360)

2008+ 12598216 A 2.4-B/P (LE5), (2ND DES) ROD, CONN (POWDER METAL W/SMOOTH SURFACE CAP AND SINGLE RIDGE ACROSS CAP, W/O MFG TRIM MARK AROUND OUTER PERIMETER) (FOR 1ST DES SEE 12596088)
