Details:
Thanks to everyone for the support and complements on this swap. This is a first documented EK J-series swap with power steering and soon to have A/C(according to Hasport and API?). The mounts are completely custom, with plenty of hood clearance and ground clearance unlike other mounts in EG’S. Placement of the engine is tight but leaves plenty of room for the a/c compressor or rear mounted turbo???The engine angle is as close to 90 degrees with respect with the chassis as possible leaving a max CV axle angle at 10 degrees unlike 20+ degrees with other mounts in EG’s. The car runs and drives awesome with a deep V6 growl and shifting the 6 speed is ultra smooth. More pics and a video to follow!!

Awesome that yall actually managed the swap and it runs, but seems dumb to me.
Then again, I'm sure practicality wasn't the number one priority with something this extreme.
Looks sick guys, I know it will turn out to be a monster with Square1 on the build. p.s. I want to see it you punks!
