Check out the "Frankenstein" engine swap forum here to see what others have done or tried to do. There are pitfalls. Expect some naysayers here, or just read their contributions to the threads in that forum.

If you go ahead with this project, come back and tell us how it went and the details.

Welcome to the piston world?

Ive read what they done and all the ups an downs but it all seems to be on the line of passing your laws...(emissions)...I know I wil need an management but do not want to keep the oem one..I have time and wil keep up to date with the build once I start...

out of curiosity, why did you go 26 rather than 25?

What are you doing for the mounts would love pics. I'm doing this swap as well and I'm throwing around ideas on that part. And what about ecu are you keeping dash functions ? What ecu are you gunna go with and what about the steering rack?
