    Yes it should fit; however you will be require to re-use some parts off your 2010 engine.

    I think the exhaust manifolds are different due to the air pump design; not sure they came out with that in 2012 or 2013. Everything should plug up; perhaps a few minor changes in sensors but I highly doubt it.

    2012 engines have a lot more emissions systems on them so the ECU and wiring might not be a straight swap

    buy the 2012 and you will be able to use everything off the motor sans the exhaust manifolds (hell you could probably use the exhaust manifolds and get block off plates for the air injection ports).
