Anything is possible but due to the angle that the engine sit in these cars the bay will need a fair bit of modifying to suit another engine

I see one 2 years ago that had Evo running gear fitted to it but I don't know if it ever got finished

Its 141 bhp standard and weighs a ton, I think a big engine would be overkill. I'm thinking maybe turbo charging the original engine to give it about 200bhp should be enough.
anyone recommend a decent company to do that....?
