Not totally different just different. If you got any mechanical knowledge at all you can do the swap easily ive done it a couple times now. As for the main frame you will need to fabricate different aluminum mounting spacers due to the width of the mounting tabs being different. Other than that if you can make the spacers the moter bolts right in. As for your sub frame. your sub frame will bolt right up to the 05 frame no problems at all.
