As the vehicle is sold as such from factory, then you could absolutely do it.
The question is, how much time and money do you want to spend.
To clarify, in terms of engine and transmission, the F Sport and base versions have the same engine and transmission.
So whether it's a 350 or 350 F Sport, the engine is the same. Transmission will be the same for RWD (8 speed) and AWD (6 speed) between F Sport and Base.
Likely it will be more cost effective to just buy a 350.
If you really want an engine swap for more power, you'd be better off sinking the money into an RCF or GSF V8 swap.
You'd have way more power than the 350 and one unique vehicle.
There's at least one other one out there in the world.

Keeping in mind you'll need everything under the car, front to back, and everything in the engine bay.
Body panels and interior are basically the same.
If the donor has had a side impact or rear end collision, then you should be all set.
You'd need the fuel tank, lines, diff., brakes, etc.
You could take the engine and tranny together...and then any harnesses up front along with the relevant ECU's.
It would be a project.
Do you have a larger pic of your avatar pic? I wouldn't mind seeing it.
