Even the ‘easy’ ones usually don’t have AC, at least some gauges not working, forget about traction control or the immobilizer. I think the effort of swapping in any motor will dwarf the 28hp bump.
Swapping a motor or buying an entire car for 28hp is insane IMO. Unless it's only gonna cost you a grand(it won't)
