FWD 5.3 ??s

Got a couple questions about the FWD 5.3s. I got a buddy that wants to do a swap into a jeep and has found a great deal on a FWD 5.3 out of an 07 impala. Anyone ever used one of these motors in a swap? Any problems that we should be aware of?

If I remember correctly the crankshaft is different to accommodate the front accessories and transaxle. The front of the crank I know is different(shorter), it's the rear that I'm unsure of. I'm sure that info is posted on this site somewhere.
