From what I understand hanging around 4th gen guys, doing any engine swap in those cars is a bigger waste than it is on ours, unless you're building a track-dedicated car. Word from them is go ahead and upgrade what you've got, but if you want a different engine than what's in there, sell the car and get one with the engine you want.
