my friend has already done that conversion. all you need is some engine mounts and hubs.

took him about 3 weeks to do altogether, but he said it was a pain in the arse.

very torquey engine, but slow to hit 60.

yes, the rough 350mph top speed made high speed stability a problem, so the addition of a silly spoiler would make things better, so i opted for one of these:
