It's usually best to go with what the vehicle was designed for , take all computers from the 2016 and keep it around till you get it running , the key may have to be programmed also

I have the complete motor and wiring harness but that’s all I have. I am looking on info on how to make this swap work conversion kit parts mods etc. and any info on making the swap work
