S4 engine into s5 body

I've been looking around trying to find more information about this but I haven't been able to find anything. Is this swap possible? My friend has an S5 body with a totaled S4 (he bought it for $400 so that's why he has it). He wants to know:

1. Is it possible assuming he has the needed equipment?

2. What things would he need to change/replace in order to make the swap possible

3. Will most things bolt right up?



Thanks for the help everyone.

it is not that easy. i did it and it will not run that good without a standalone computer.. alot of rewiring and a shitload of parts to buy to make it all work right.
i say just find an s5 motor or put the s4 engine and buy a stand alone computer.
