Not that I could ever afford this or would even attempt it if it's possible but, can a VK45DE be swapped into an S13 with 'relative' ease? I would think any 8 cylinder is too large to stuff into an S13 without some kind of major modifications to the car.

I hope this isn't a repost, I checked for similar stuff but didn't find anything.

Some put 350 or smaller v8's into s13's I guess it depends on how much bigger.And if you put any v8 into an s13 it is gonna require "major modifications".

Check out this thread...discusses the possibility of a VK/VH swap into S13 chassis. Would not be as straightforward as your standard RB/CA/SR swap.
