Very common conversion mate been done by so many now. If you have all the tools and conversion part from the likes of Chris Astley then its fine jus room in the engin bay is a bit tight.

would seek help from the likes of sbd motorsport, u will need ecu, loom, gearbox, engine, conversion kit, u can buy parts of other motors to make it fit but its easier and probably less hassle to get a conversion kit, lookin at about £800-£1000 doing it yourself and £1300 + for someone to do it. worth it in the end trust me lol.
