Dont think you would be legally be able to transplant a RB20 into a VS due to emission rules. Unless of course you were to pay for extensive testing, and modifying for it to meet EPA for a late 90's vehicle.

That's where all the problems with engineering will come up. However the new mod guidelines may significantly simplify this process. I guess we'll just have to wait an see what the final version says tho.
