Not really, basically no, you could technically but just no.

If it wasn't anti regulation it would be a better engine imo, but no it can't be done.

You can’t put an engine in from an older car. You can swap an Alloytec with an Alloytec of the same type. LE0 with LE0. LY7 with LY7.

You can put any motor in as long as the car meets emissions standards for the model when it was made. Making an old engine do that is near on impossible and a big part of why engines change and evolve.

Stick with what you have or take a long hard look at your wallet.
