The 2.7 is not only a better engine (more torque and power giving better fuel cons, mid range and top range shove and a better noise), the car would benefit from a number of obvious and less obvious ways. The late pre-facelift cars (ie, 2.7's from around 2000 onwards) would have the 3 spoke steering wheel, electronic lid releases, alu interior door handles etc and it a much better car to spend time in.
Your '02 or later car would be a post-facelift, and would be a still greater improvement. The 2.7 engine was given even more power and torque, and the whole car freshened again with the obvious improvement of a glass rear window, plus trim, equipment and cabin material and drivetrain improvements.
So in summary, you'll not only get better performance, you'll get a better car overall.
