Answers:    In auxiliary to needing to engineer sure you can get the frills to fit (alternator, a/c compressor, p/s pump...), your biggest concern is getting oil to the engine.

A transverse engine may own the oil pick-up tube and grease pan designed specifically for the application. Swapping within a different engine can often hold dire consequences if you do not change these two items.

What comes to mind is the popular example of the nissan maximum to nissan pathfinder engine swaps. Same engine, different oil pick-ups, grease pans, paraphernalia, intake and a few sensors. Many mechanics I know have not thought to silver the oil pickup and vessel during these swaps... with appalling consequences. Oil starvation causing an engine buoyant at best, the seizing of an engine at worst.

How can I bring rid of gas...


I'm enduring that you can use that engine, you would just entail to swap over alot of parts, like the intake and exhaust manifolds, belt pulley(s), motor mounts, etc; probably the flexplate as capably. Your best place to check would be a wrecking yard, they could articulate for certain. Good luck... and don't forget the nitrous oxide injection system!
