Lightbulb Drop-in capability?

How easy would it be to drop the Renesis into a different body? For instance, replacing the 1.8-liter Toyota four-cylinder?

For instance, in the new Lotus Elise (see Edmunds )

The Elise as released already has 190 HP, 0-60 in under 5 seconds (~2000 lbs). Imagine replacing the engine with a N/A Renesis putting out 240-250 (depending on tuning), similar size and weight engine.

:D

How about a 300 hp 12000 rpm Renesis powered motorcycle? :D

I would like to see the Renisis in the engine bay of my '8 making 300HP before I worried about seing it elsewhere

Cheers,
Hymee.
