I don't even know where to start, but you will need a little more than FI for newbs to get a project like that off the ground. Do you honestly realize how much fabrication and custom parts it will take to get that swap to function in that platform? It will be more expensive than FI'ing an existing z33. There are plenty of FWD VQ's out there though to start off with. Space will be the problem....along with basically every part of the drivetrain.

Hmmm if you have extensive fab work, convert your car to RWD, and make just about all your own mounts I guess it could be done.

Why not use a FWD engine??

and for you to ask to put a RWD engine in a FWD car that is half the size you probably do not have the FAB skills and know how required to tackle this size of a project.

It can be done but is not gonna happen from forum advice... you kinda have to be there in person, and try different things till something works.
