Do you use the zip tie to hold your seatbelt in?

And the duct tape for the mouths of your passengers so you don't hear the screaming?

I'll answer this and save gene some angst. Castlemaine rod shop make mounts to put the 3.8l V6 in a gem. Good luck doing the conversion for $700 - you will need more like $5000 at least. For $700 abou the best you will do is a G180 or G200 (1.8L and 2L). As for what engines fit, you can make pretty well anything fit, how much it will cost and whether it will be legal are another thing though.

The only thing that can be done for $600 is your Mum and thats for a whole years worth.
