Mini Cooper SRT-4 Engine Swap

[MINI]

Alright first off, I have the N/A 1.6L Tritec engine in my MINI. The tritec was a joint venture between Chrysler and BMW. So when you compare my engine to that of a Neon or SRT-4, they are very similar and obviously have the same design.

I was looking on Wikipedia and saw this;

The 1.6 L (1598 cc) version uses the same 77 mm (3.0 in) bore with a longer 85.8 mm stroke. Output is rated at 66 kW (90 PS; 89 hp) and 140 N·m (103 lb·ft) in the Mini One, and 85 kW (116 PS; 114 hp) and 149 N·m (110 lb·ft) in the Mini Cooper.
Applications:

• MINI One and Cooper (until 2008).
• Chrysler PT Cruiser (in non-US markets)
• Chery Flagcloud and Windcloud.
• Lifan 520

My engine is in PT Cruisers for non-US markets. I know that many PT Cruisers have the SRT-4 engine...

So that leads to the question, do you think the SRT-4 engine could be placed in my 2004 Mini Cooper?
