If you are planning on dropping in the WHOLE motor then you will need to replace everything including the wiring harness. Also rewire a lot of other stuff. Its a pion in the but.

You can also run the S4 Accessories on the S5 bare block. This is easier to do but you may need to hunt down 1 or 2 modifications to get it to run.
