Default MOVED: Motor swap info?

How to drop in a 2.7 V6 into a 1997 1.8l tiburon. Possible or not? Other motor ideas? Any reply at all would be appreciated if this has been tried or not.

This can be done with a lot of money, and time, and not worth it

first its not worth it the motor wont hold high hp second you could get more out of your 1.8 for the same amount of money it would cost you to buy the 2.7 motor tranny computer clutch and all the other little things. this wouldnt include all the installation and fabrication yeah for 10 or 15 grand it can be done is it worth it no. build the 1.8 make it a 2.0 with a new crank and rods ( i have a crank and rods if intersted) get the 2.0 computer (salvage yard i got one for 20 bucks) and you now have a 2.0 litter to work with. put 5-8 grand into the motor + transmission (if manual if not do a manual swap did mine or around 600 bucks) you have now and it will out do any v6 delta motor tib that you will run accross no matter how big his shot of nitrous+ turbos are as he drops the bottom end of his precious little v6 cheep aluminum block lol die v6 die (yes i do hate the v6 it puts a shame to anyone wanting to build it :lol i do want the 6 speed so i can cruse at 2.5 grand instead of 3.5 :depressed:
