Nothing about that swap is a direct fit. Theres a guy here on the forum that's done the swap. He created a thread on it and it should be easy to find in the build thread section.

If you just want the block... it'll bolt right in. Swap front covers, GSL-SE oil pan, RX8 headers and an adaptor plate to put your Nikki on there. All the computers and longer trans is what makes the swap difficult.
