Well, you can get pretty much there is on SFR, kspec and SharkRacing, however, those last are vendors not endorsed by this site and sometimes have crappy service (you get your things eventually, but have crappy email response and such; I haven't deal with them in the last years though...)
Also you should contact LarryMcFly on this site, he has just what your project is...

chassis code is X3

i can hook you up with engine mounts and axles ;-)
the wiring stuff is a very basic job to do in a swapped X3 ;-)

i was thinking about that, i WILL need a mount for the left side (timing belt side) mount as i believe when i was looking at it, they were not compatible, what mounts would i need to get (can they be had off another model) or do i have to have them made or just buy yours, if i dont have to pay for them and i could get them off another model that would be great, the less moeny i have to spend the better.

the site that cater to the info that you need is hyundaiperformance.com and go directly to the hybrid subforum... that subforum is dedicated to what you need.

i have a swapped x3 accent for a while now and just let me know if you have any questions. there's also Denisst99 (auto tech extrodinaire), spikie and even chaosripper

as for the mount, for sure you can modify the stock x3 one to make it work to save some money. the info is all in hp.com

btw, get a beta1 for the x3 instead of the beta2

good luck!
