Fobby, a buddy of mine who works at National Speed Inc will be contacting you shortly about this swap. He's trying to get some more info on it as he's thinking about doing it himself.

I hope the OP doesn't take this as me bashing the car, even more so since this is mostly assumption but...

It looks like weight would be an issue. I know those motors aren't light compared to the original powerplant, and even more so since it looks like it really sits farther up, over the front wheels. I'm sure adjustments can be made, but I don't see how it can be a great track car especially with all the torque steer that motor is going to cause.

Again, swap is BA and super clean. But from just looking at it, I don't see alot of practicality. Enlighten me if not.
