    Here is what I think.

    Changing the engine may require a lot more than just buying the lump and putting it in. More than likely you will need the ECU for the 2.8 as the 2.5 probably is set up differently.

    Exhaust is probably different.

    Gearbox set up may not be the same. Other silly things like radiator hoses, air box location/piping and fuel lines may also not match up.

    As for that engine linked to, would not touch it with a barge pole. Training unit..means every pleb was at it and as it was not going to be on the road it would have been thrown back together especially if it was late in the eve. God knows how many threads were crossed or stripped.
