Among other items....the correct PCM is definitely required.
Don't forget the transmission (5-Speed)...it's different than the
V6/I4's. The AX-15 is a capable transmission (cute little thing) but
isn't as beefy as the NV3500 (Not the best performing trans though)
found on the 5.2L 5-speeds (2WD).

Wouldn't you also need a computer, as the V6/I4 computers only send
signals to 6/4 injectors and not 8.
