yeah heaps, the sump forms part of the bottom end and unless you can weld alloy it wont be an easy thing. i wrote a thing on how to engine mount in the DIY section here. as far as wiring the thing is concerned u wont be able to use the original ecu to control the vct unless u have the smartshield or smart lock removed so its either that or aftermarket injection but u'll need a higher end unit to drive the vct.
