Anything is possible given enough time and money. Personally, I think it's a waste of both.
Both engines are the same size externally but getting the computer to work is the real problem. I don't see the benefit of going through the effort and cost.

Not sure if you noticed but the Genesis is a RWD and the Sonata is FWD. Huge difference in the computer and wiring harness. It's not as simple as unplugging one and replacing it with another.
I think using a 3.8L from a FWD Azera, Veracruz or Entourage would be easier since it's already setup for a FWD platform.
