won't work. well, it can...how much money you have?
the thing is, that engine is quite heavy and to do it the best, you would need to try and sit the motor as far back toward the driver as possible to offset the weight.
WHT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING THIS???
what is your goal? what, do you want a faster car? put a freaking turbo in it man.
i seriously doubt that you're gonna see much difference. with the money it takes to do that swap get a turbo. the fact of the matter is, you're gonna have to fabricate motor mounts, support braces and strut braces to fit that motor in the car. search around and consider other options before you attempt to do this.
if you do end up trying this and it works, more power to ya, but i really don't think its worth the effort.
BTW, this is the NITROUS TUNING section. watch where you post.
turbo or nitrous. That swap will not work without copious amounts of $$$$
