Yes, with enough money, a 20B will work in anything.

It depends on what electronics you mean.

Evil is right on! Considering the money this project is going to take, dump the GXL and find a tight, well maintained TII (perhaps even lightly modified - suspension, bushings, etc). That way you'll start with a car that was meant to take a bit more abuse (tranny, rear-end, suspension, etc) for the ultimate beast this will turn into - assuming you get it running. That comment by the way is not meant as an insult, just a reality check. Another route would be to stick with your GXL, beef up the suspension and find a 20B front clip. Use the stock computer and transmission and keep it as an auto. It's a compromise, but you'll be up and running in a much shorter period of time. I believe this is what NOW (user on this forum) did. It really is a great idea. At least you have a operational car that could be improved or modified over timeif you wanted to. Just my 2 cents. Good Luck.

Good advice. Better advice: Buy mine.

We can work a deal here: Buy the engine for only $39,900, and I'll throw in the vert for free. It makes a great place to store the engine, until you want to use it.
