1. It's an odd-ball swap, nothing from the factory will make it fit, and it is completely unsupported by the aftermarket.

2. It doesn't make a lick of sense beyond being "something different" ("I'm getting the engine for free" doesn't cut it).

3. It is occasionally discussed (such as on May 3rd).

4. Everything you can learn will be found with a . Everything else you're going to have to figure out for yourself.
