Thats a nice car, lots of dollars spent by the looks of it.
Dr Mini will probably tell you more , but, the engines are not the same and will not be a easy swap (subframes are also different but i think you can use spacers under the engine mounts)
SO all in all a lot of work and a few bucks if you want to do it.
