Probably be easiest to just put 3.0L cams and divider onto the 2.6,.

Interesting, but, what do win with that?

Although it would be easier to drop a 3.2 in there. 

Not bad, but there are few

If you swap over all the drive-by-wire ancillaries onto the X30XE and the X30XE is recent enough to have the mounting threads for the DBW coil packs in the heads, then it would probably work. In fact, it's been done before.

Thanks, It's what I thought, use the 3.0 block and use my auxiliaries. Can you give me more info?

As I understand it[stand to be corrected on this]the X30 would physically fit however there are differences.The X30 has a cable operated accelerator where the Y26 is a "drive by wire" electronic[?] throttle.The Y26 has sepatate coil packs for each bank of cylinders while the X30 has a single coil pack mounted behind the right hand cylinder head[passenger side UK,drivers side on LHD cars]and plug leads to each cylinder so there would be wiring/cabling to take into account.Whether the ECU would remain the same or need to be swapped and whether that would be a case of plug and play I don't know.There may be other stuff I've not mentioned and I'm sure others will be along shortly to correct me if I'm wrong/give other pointers.By the way out of interest why are you wanting to make the swap?

The engine wold be to the 2000 year model, I guess it would be like the one I have in everything. I guess could use all my electric part and remap the ECU whith the 3.0 map. The reason of the swap is that the car is a bit lazy at medium speed, and I think the swap will give the extra power it need and this engines are cheap
