Default Element engine/drivetrain upgrade?

Has anyone thorught about upgrading the drivetrain on the new Element? I'm halfway to buying one (4wd manual - due this summer), but the engine is a bit on the tame side for the size/weight of the Element. Does anyone know if the V6 from the Pilot/MDX will fit in the engine bay? Or is the only way to help it is to give a dose of forced induction? What's possible with the Element's stock engine? But I think that V6 is ideal for it...

(I just realized this is in the wrong forum -- re-posted to the "Other Honda/Acura Models" forum.)
