i havent heard of anyone doing it yet but really only things that would stop you would be mounts,axles, harness/ecu
i'm sure physically it would fit, you just have to worry about the usual stuff. you should pioneer it if you got the engine for free. that means even if you spend 800-1000 getting it in your still doing pretty good.
Like these guys said, I would imagine it's the same as any swap. Take the motor & tranny put it on a jack slide it under car and mark your mounting points. Then the real fun starts. I would like to do that swap, i just can't have my car down for enough time to do it.
When i was tuning the car i wanted to see if i could make over 300 hp i told them to turn the boost up to 25psi and it blew fryed the pistons and bent the valves
If it's the Theta 2.4 out of the NF Sonata then it's a good motor but nobody knows how easy or difficult it will be to swap. If it's the Sirius 2.4l out of the older Sonata and some other vehicles it's closer to the Beta swap but doesn't put out much more than a 2.0l Beta.
i've learned (from having to redo my wiring harness) that you can throw whatever the hell will fit in there if you're willing to do the wiring and fabricate the mounts.
It puts out way more torque even in SOHC format....
