You asked us what we thought. We told you what we thought. We all told you that a) nobody on here has ever done it b) it will be very expensive and c) it's not terribly practical. I hope you realize that this isn't some $10k mod...between the motor, transmission, and drivetrain components, and the frame, mounting, machining and cutting and welding you're going to do, this is going to cost you well above $30k, and that's not including labor. I'm speaking from experience in designing and building cars; you are talking a lot of non-standard, single run parts that are going to cost a lot. I don't know what your import shops can do, if they can fabricate parts and stuff, but are they willing to sponsor $10k plus labor a piece? If they are then great. If not better start looking for more sponsors.

Now if you really want to do this and you plan on doing the work, I would suggest you learn how to TIG weld (I'm assuming you haven't done it before). That's what's going to hold your frame together, and that above all else is going to determine whether your engine is going to shake your car to pieces.
