Default Possible engine swaps?

Sorry for the completely ignorant post. But I've recently come into alot of money, and I'm curious as to which, if any, engines are interchangeable with an 08' tC?

I'm fairly new to the import scene, or car scene for that matter, so pardon my lack of knowledge. Thanks a ton in advance!

What happened to "this is going to be my cruiser car"? Haha, nice to see you over here dredgrules.

There are no real swaps for our car. Somebody's shoe-horning a V6 in, but by the specs of that engine, it's more for bragging rights than power.

well, first search.

there really isn't a good reason to swap an engine on the tc.

the cost and troubleshooting and labor and work involved is rediculous, and you could better results easier with a simple turbo kit.

do a search, it has been done, a user on here called "chicagosfinest" has a tc with a v6 engine.

but do some research into how to build more power in the tc, there is alot of information on here about it.

and when i say research, i don't mean post another question, i mean search. this has been asked alot of times before.
