Default 2013 Challenger Engine Swap: Can a 2018 Charger 3.6L Engine and ECU Work?

Can I use a 2018 Dodge Charger 3.6L Pentastar engine in my 2013 Dodge Challenger, and is it possible to update my 2013 Challenger's ECU to work with the 2018 engine? What challenges should I expect with compatibility in terms of wiring, sensors, and programming? Has anyone done this swap successfully?

Assuming that your 2013 also has a 3.6.......it's the same engine. Why would you even want to bother with trying to retrofit a newer PCM?
