A full motor no... too much work with the new ecu and all. A short block yet. Please to a search because its been covered before.

Read threw this thread to get an idea on what to search for.

There is a lot more info if you search... that should be enought to get you started. A few points, the new ecu is fly by wire which makes things very tricky. The 6 speed may or may not need to have some tunnel work done to fit. Thier is a company that makes nice 22b kit on here http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=434290&highlight=wide+body

Also remember to plan everything out, a project like this can get out of control very quickly.

i won't be able to afford it right now, so i am doing the research now and finding everything i need

Research by searching. Asking a blanket question such as this won't yield nearly the same amount of information.
