S5 shell with S4 engine

Will i run into any problems?. I have a complete S4 but the body is damaged/wreked and considering an S5 shell. Are there anythings to consider or will this be a smooth swap?

No, its pretty easy if you have the all the right parts, and it sounds like you do.

electronics from the different series are not compatible. The OMP must be plugged in as well even if not actually attached to the engine.
