anything can fit if you have enough money and patience.

well, maybe not everything.

but don't let me stop you, go ahead. be the first to do it, and let us know about it.

Be prepared to get flamed for asking this question though. A lot of people here equate engine swaps to nothing more than a waste.

Size wise, I'd bet it would fit. You'd have to rewire a god portion of the car. And he last time I checked there aren't exactly a lot of places in the US to get replacement parts for that engine.

^ lol. i'd stick with the 2.0 (or 2.2). they seem to be making plenty of power when boosted.

It'd fit, for sure. I'd probably put it in the trunk, maybe fold down the backseat. It's a good place to keep it until you use it as a boat anchor or sell it to buy a built 420a.
