Never seen it but I imagine looooots of fab and custom work. Just RB or SR it... or KA-t it.

If they can jam an LS1 into them I don't see any reason that pidly VG wouldn't go. I doubt you have already tested the limits of the KA, though.

I'm sure that it will, I have a buddy that had a s13 with a vg30de in it. The hardest part will be the clearance around the steering column and the driver's side turbo, but even that can be solved pretty easily with some inginudity, a cutoff wheel, and a welder.(but don't really get naked to make it fit, winky burns will be very uncomfortable and people will think that you are weird)

Impractical swap in my opinion. I assume you have one and are trying to use it? Turbo the KA!!

A great start is a clean running tight stock car. That is months of work and several hundreds of dollars. Start there. I get so tired of half-assed goofy "cool" cars that don't run well, are unsafe and in many cases perform worse than stock. Not hating on you, I include my car in that unfavorable light.

Concentrate on freshing up the old car's suspension and getting the old "truck motor" purring. You will be surprised how much more fun you have compared to the dime a dozen zomgitotallyswappedengineXinmyshityoandit'skewlbutitdon'tstartcansomebodyhelpmeigotracewarzonsaturday guys.

^ lol but its so true. You cant just drop it in there in a day and have it be perfect. You kind of have to know what your doing and have access to good tools.
