the 03 intake manifold is a complete "loop" whereas the 04-up is more of a "horseshoe" shaped one.
there are minor differences between the two motors, and there are some major differences in the electronics/programming between them...

what exactly is the reason you need a new motor ??

i wouldn't use the 03 motor personally, the money could be better spent rebuilding your motor w/new bearings and head studs while you're at it.
