Ahh... engine swaps....
Anything is possible with time, money and talent. Want to try it, then go for it.

The ONLY motor that is a direct swap for your car is another 4g63. Basic rebuilds cost about a grand to do. Performance rebuilds can go up in price from there. Buying a used working motor is about $600.

Dropping an entirely different motor that has nothing to do with the car, you'll be looking at at least $5,000. You will need the motor, the trans, trasnfer case, ECU, wiring harness, have to rewire everything, custom driveshaft.... then you have to make it fit, do all new mounts, move everything around...

If you want to do it go for it. It won't be easy nor cheap.
