I know someone that has a shop in japan so i was thinking i could get a VR4 motor and swap it into my car. i dont know exactly what i would have to do to the car for it to fit and make it run. so anyone with any VR4 knowledge please fill me. the problems i was thinking i would run into are
1. if it even fit's ( i know it will but at what cost)
2. suspension ( alot more weight being added to the front end)
3. drivetrain ( the AWD is prolly going to be the biggest problem)
4. transmission

you forgot about how much the wiring would be a bitch too... cars of today are far more complicated than the cars of 30 years ago.

but talk to mante. he got pretty far before he gave up and just bought a real vr4
