Has anyone tried...?

I'm sure someone has done this, but I would like to have some information on installing a Renesis into an FC. I have an '89 Vert in need of a rebuild. Since it will cost me $4000 to do this (no time to do it myself) is it feasible to set a renesis in it instead and increase the horsepower by 95 more horses. Maybe, I am just thinking a little left field here, but... I guess what I am asking is, is there a ton of extra work involved or would it fit with just a few simple mods?

1. take out 13b
2. put in renesis
3. hook up a few lines / wires
4. ???
5. profit

is that thats what u thinking ??

might as well put a RB26DETTTTTT in there, theres enough room in the engine bay
that way u'll increase horses by 950 instead of 95, way better deal

No, I wasn't thinking of any kind of profit. I'm just debating the money to replace the engine and still have only 160 horse. I would keep the car forever if it were at all feasible, I'd just like to have more power without ricing it out.
