It has been done, but if it is only the engine you are looking at, it could be
very expensive. You would be better off with a donor car, to get all the

mean repair is necessary? If so, it all can sum up to a large amount of money
in total.

A couple that has been done already:

The text is in German, but the pictures talk too!
