Been a while since I looked at the auto 4 speed. I know the manual tranny you can, but it would be easier to pull the motor and tranny together and swap them in together. Also the torque converter's might be different ( I'm sure they are), so having the one for the Ecotec would be best.

Your axles will swap over. If that is all that is wrong then you would be good. I would not mind helping, but I will not be in Orlando until Friday afternoon.

Is the radiator in the 04 still good? Reason I ask is it is easier to swap radiators (they are different), but you can use your radiator, but you have to do some custom hoses. I would also recommend swapping the BCM's as well. YOu should be able to the pull both motors and tranny's with the wiring and all connected (just disconnect at the distribution block).

No welding needed. Unplug the BCM, and take the ECU with the engine as you pull it out. Keep in mind if your car has ABS, and if the donor has it or not.

All I can see is the condensor, but I agree the Radiator does not look good, but I have seen them look like that and still be fine.
