Message	Most guys swap in SR20, KA24, single came VG's or 3.8 litre buick motors (think grand nationals). I am sure our motor could go into it but after seeing how tight that was for a datsun 510 I just don't see how it could easily be done in that car. Plus the added weight of our heavy transmission and engine just don't seem to jive in my book. But that is just me.
