The issue here is engine controls. Being that the chassis is literally the same, fitting the engine will likely be extremely easy if even a drop-in, no extra work affair. The problem is going to be controls. Maybe the ECU architecture is extremely similar and we can retain the "old" ECU and run the new engine with a different tune and some wiring. If not, it's going to be realistically easier to just go the K swap route since they have that all figured out.

x2 race classing. Not only for size, but lots of race sanctions allow same-manufacture swaps for little/no points.
