Hi,

On the supposition that anything is possible, I suspect you could. The 2.7L is really only a stroked 2.5L and the 3.2L is a stroked and bored 2.5L..

The main issue would be the Locasil in the Block Casting. You could eliminate it and have the cylinders Nikasil coated, then there would be new pistons which either Mahle or JE could fab for probably under $1,200. In any event, it won't come cheap...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
