You definately couldn't get the AWD system to work, unless you or someone you know is an INSANE fabricator. I've helped my buddy pull a couple suby engine while they are pretty tiny I think it may be to wide of an engine to fit in the 8's skinnky engine bay.

There is one guy who has been working on a swapping the SR20DET in his 8. It's been a long journey for him, still ongoing too.

If you have the money a three rotor and a big turbo can make insane power, but if your going to put a piston engine in you may as well to the LS swap.
