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.

The swap will not be a drop in plug and play or we would see all kinds of FA20F swaps already. I don't recall a single one that was every actually completed.
There is little point in going to the trouble and expense of a swap for so few gains. Especially true when their are already reasonably priced options to swap much more powerful (and reliable) engines on the market.
We don't even know if the FA24D is even going to be that great and engine. It could turn out to be a real dog and people will want to swap old FA20s into new cars. Not probable but possible.
