defo do it, drive a type r civic an imagin it in an elise, u seem to have some confusion about orientation of the engine, all k20a engines are the same- exhaust exiting out of the back, the engine is simply moved to the back of the car. engine mount kits are expensive, . i'm not an expert on k20 engine but i know early (51-52 plate car engines have a heavier flywheel) Ihaven't converted one yet but am going to, or buy one already done.
