Chad, Go with the 2006 motor, if you can find one with an auto tranny. If it came off of another NC, it will be a direct swap. If you end up having to get the Duratec 2.0L Motor out of another car, then there might some converting to do. But not a whole lot.
Having swapped NC motors before, you will not find many issues. It is pretty straight forward and easy enough to do. Be careful taking the CAM sensor off. It breaks very easily.

I am working on an engine swap on a 2007 GT Automatic with a BEGi S3 kit installed. The engine blew up under boost. Some of the research I've been doing suggests that one of the other years' engines may have stronger internals. Is this true? If so, what year should I look for in the wrecking yard, and will there be any issues adapting that engine into a 2007 chassis? Worst-case, I'll just get another 2007 engine, but if the 2007s have weaker internals, I'd not want this car to suffer the same fate. Thoughts? I need to know soon, since we need to get the replacement engine ordered within the next week or so. Thanks!
