Hopefully Hyundai will bring it over, but I'll believe it once it's done. Obviously, anything is possible... however given the dimension specs and that it's an option swap with the 6g74, I'd assume it wouldn't me much more trouble than the 6g74 (electronics, trans, etc. not withstanding).

Realistically though... there are probably better options, but it is the only mitsu designed v8.
