I dont see why not. As long as the new motor has all the smog set up.

RE: motor swap
Considering how most turboed 4 bangers run about 200 horsepower, and the factory is an underrated 260 hp, the only way to get over it is to run forged internals and bump the boost. But thats alot more money than a new or used 5.0, you could prolly buy a crate engine with alot more power than that....
