Nope. It can be done but not cheap or easy.

It'll be a big job. For one thing the 2004 engine is OBD-II and so you'll need to swap over all the sensors, wiring harness, ECU, and probably instrument cluster, fuel pump, tank, and transmission etc. as well.

I think by 2004, they were all SOHC which makes it MUCH more difficult. If you found a newer OHV, you could strip it down to the long block and drop it right in.
