sure you can put any motor into any car. what you would need to find out though is how the motor your looking at mounts. You might need to move the K Member, do some fender welding and change the frame a little.

well if you were unable to do any of the work yourself? oh in upwards of at least 5 grand if they had to cut and weld the frame.
