a S5 engine into a S4 body

I was going to be getting a full S5 front cut from japan. but someone said that it is too hard to put a S5 engine in my car.(1988 T2) Im getting the full front end. That runs. how hard is it to do this swap? Thanks

it's not hard, but you might want to just stick with an s4 engine unless you are getting a really good deal on the s5...and if that's the case and you still have your s4 engine, take them both in and have the s4 engine rebuilt with the s5 rotors and housings...just my .02 thought
