big engine, small bay. need custom engine mounts, welding, fabrication, wiring harness splicing if you want to keep the stock cluster.

Not wanting to be an ass, but if your asking these kinds of questions your probably not ready to attack this feat.

Any amount of money can accomplish almost everything.

It's been done by a couple people, so of course its doable.

Whether or not you have their skills is another question. I have to ask, are you the former heavyweight champion of boxing Jon "The Quiet Man" Ruiz?

Anything is posible with the right amount of money. You'll have lots of problems but you'll have lost of fun when its done.

horsepower is the force that determines at what speed you hit the wall, torque is the force that determines how far you take the wall with you after you hit it.
