You will need the engine wiring harness and ECU, 06 has VTC on both intake & exhaust cams, the 03 only has VTC on the intake cam, computers and wiring harnesses for these motors are both different because of this.

The Clean Air Act forbids swapping older more polluting engines into a newer vehicle.............is this for racing/off road use only?
Reselling such a vehicle may be problematic and open you up to future litigation to return to oem as built.......emission fraud.

It should work, however the 06 has lower compression pistons comparted to the 03, dont know if the valves and valve clearance are different, as long as the valve clearance is ok, should work fine.

dang Q45 clean air act in GA. That would have been the last thing on my mind during a engine build up. hell down here we do not have to worry about state inspections.
