You can do what ever you want. The question is how much money are you willing to spend? Putting a different engine in a car that was not designed for it requires making engine mounts and possibly changing the transmission. You also need to consider the engine computer and wiring harness. How will you connect that up. Then custom exhaust, etc. Probably not worth the time and money unless you are a master welder and master mechanic.
