Question Engine upgrade for light single - possible?

Is it possible to upgrade the engine in a light single when it comes to replacement time?

I'm thinking of aircraft where the manufacturer has already put a variety of engines into basically the same airframe - e.g. from a PA28 140 to a 180, or a Robin DR400 120 to 160 or 180?

And if possible, is it practical and economic?
