    This would be a custom fabricated setup and would require changing all the
    electronic controls and an incredible amount of wiring. The vehicle is
    also not strong enough to handle the power of an engine with as much power
    as the 2.7. I've heard reports of people using Elantra 1.6/1.8/2.0
    engines, but don't know what extent of custom work is necessary. If this
    is something you're considering doing yourself, you're probably better off
    not beginning with a project this large.
    There are many technical issues which (based on your previous posts) you
    don't seem to have the knowledge to understand or troubleshoot. Please
    don't take that to be degrading. I don't mean it that way. I just think
    that if you start a project like this, you'd be getting in way over your
    head. Realistically, you'd want a pretty good operating knowledge of how
    everything on the vehicle operates to undertake such a job.

  3. I would imagine the setup would also require extensive relocation of
    suspension equipment, battery etc... Also there would probably not be
    enough room for the AC pump. Even if you could shoe horn the 2.7 in, the
    weight gain and modest power upgrade (176hp I think) would not be justified.
    Your better bet would be either the 2.0 swap, or have a performance engine
    shop strengthen your current engine, throw a turbo and maybe some nitrous on
    it and call it a day (~$5000 probably). HP and TQ numbers would be much
    better than the 2.7, and it would not require near the magnitude of
    fabrication. I would imagine the 2.7 swap would run over 8-10k after all
    the fabrication. The 2.0 swap would be cheapest, but power gain would not
    be worth the swap.

    of sticks used to light a fire.. =)
