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.

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.
