If they'll sell the ecu and tranny do it. I think one big headache MIGHT be the ABS getting to jive between the new ecu and existing hardware, also the speed sensor, the tachometer and speedo might be a SOB but if you can get it all reasonably priced, it would be a good step in power.

There are all kinds of issues with transfer case hookup & engine height, not to mention it's a drive-by-wire throttle, plus a host of other issues. Like One_96TR4 said, it was done & the write-up is on here somewhere, but it cost 'em a ton and took a long time & good mechanic.

u can put a new honda civic 4 cylinder engine into an old del sol pretty easy, huh? a buddy at work did it, and man is that thing fast. tho he CLAIMS to have spent 20k on the swap alone... id say he spent 800 on the motor (brand new from honda of poway) and the rest on the suspension. ...if he even spent that much.

$20k? Yeah, right. Unless he's got solid gold valve covers, I don't believe it. A K-series would be around $10k, which is one of those most expensive engines that you can put in there.
