      Uh oh...

      M20 with some body work..
      M42

      M50.. good luck.

      M60 is a direct bolt in though.

        How big is your wallet?

        That's how big of an engine you can fit.

        I've seen m30s, v8s, rotaries, ect ect..

          m20 is pretty easy bing but you should do a turbo s14. i dont know of anyone in the usa who has done it. s14 02's are common. if youre going to do it go big. get azevado to do one for you

                          2002faq is a great site. Although....Why swap out the m10?? Turbocharge it and call it a day. They'll run forever.....

                            i have always been a fan of this idea, and there are some crazy fast turbo m10's in europe.
