Yes but its not just a drop in job.
Search on here and youtube, DM (discomikey) on here has done it but he went mad and made a pretty amazing car, the guys on youtube are russian and I do not speak russian so have no idea what they did.
One thing is for sure, it wont be cheap!

I have just removed seized 2.7 engine from a D3. I expected spun bearings but it's worse than that - snapped crank. Engine solid because broken parts of crank jammed against each other.

Just to bring this thread to a close, I looked at the options, found a half decent (all-be-it fairly high mileage) 08 plate car fairly local to me for £3500, so cheaper than a new engine. Had a few issues (nothing major), so used the original car as a donner, so for a weeks spare time work, back on the road.
