Would a 3.5L from the newer GM vehicles be compatible with 2004 malibu classic?

I'm just curious because not only would that be cool, it would be fast! Probably easier to maintain to, i'm not sure. I already know they would fit. Search on google for "malibu cruiser" and it will show the same car with a 3.5 in it. I just want to know if the newer engines line up just right with certain cables or what not. Also, what about the transmission? Would it need to be changed from the 2.2 setup?

1. It won't.

2. You need the 3.5L trans, I believe.

3. Look under the hood. Everything.
