What you're trying to do is not practical. You would need to find an engine that was originally available in your car, and it would have to bolt up to the same transmission, otherwise you'd have to replace that too. The exhaust system, fuel tank and supply system, and engine electronics will all be different. You'll need a bigger radiator and a stronger suspension system to hold the additional weight. The proportioning valve in the brake hydraulic system is carefully tailored for the weight distribution of your car with its specific set of optional equipment. Since the Engine Computer talks to the other computers on the car, those will have to be changed, and there's a lot of them. The instrument cluster will be different. That is a computer module in itself. You'll need a larger battery.
By the time you're done, you will have spent more on the parts than if you just bought the car, and you haven't even factored in weeks of labor yet. Buy the car you want. Don't try to build it. You aren't going to improve on what the engineers designed.
