Anything can fit into anything, how much work do you want to do and how much streetablilty do you want to give up?

It is actually a pretty simple swap. Unfortunately, your car will no longer pass inspection.

Do you intend the car for street or track-only use?

it's not the motor buddy... it's what you put on top of it... if you get a sniffer test and a visual inspection... you need to have the fuel delivery system that is considered an upgrade and that was offered for you body style vehicle... my car came with a carb setup.. I can legally covert it to TPI...
