yeah u might have issues with a boss engine as they're wider than a big block. xr6t engines are on ebay all the time otherwise any decent wrecker.

well if you go with a xr6t eng all piss easy you can get a eng and g/box with wireing lumb from many wreckers you can try franks parts plus but in my opinion they are to expencive u can get all the stuff u need off ebay for bout $$3,500 beponding on what trans u want auto or man eng mounts are easy i made mine from 8mm plate steel u can run a vl turbo fuel pump that should do the job on the bosses fg turbo we runnin a surge tank but prob not needed pop into my workshop one day ill be able to explain better all stuff only take a good couple hours to mount one i might even be able to do the job for ya if ya cant do it ya self
