I wouldn't hesitate to try this if I wasn't planning a complete engine swap in the near future. If you're doing the work yourself, I would plan no more than $1300 budget for the complete swap with all the misc. parts.

Im definately doing this swap... right after I buy your coil-overs!

Will do. Im currently in contact with a couple of shops now, and Im going to start collecting parts (hopefully) very soon! Its my next mod right after coil-overs and wheels (probably around next week sometime)...

Ill probably start a new thread as I learn more and start acquiring all of these parts.

make it a DIY

I might follow in your footsteps :)

one thing I like about this... you get to put the clutch pedal wherever you like it... I have sz 14 feet, and they are wide + big legs, so its very uncomfortable with most clutches, now if I could bump it over even an inch or 2

+ a 6spd with LSD...

if you can do this without a big headache, I can see it becoming a very, very common swap.
