renesis powered FC

i found on ebay this renesis with tranny and all bolt on accessories with ECM and all that needs for engine for sale. its got five days left and it has 2km on engine. i have been talking about putting a renesis in my FC for along time and would think that it would be fast stuff. i was wondering how hard that would be or if there was somwere else i could get the engine from.

heres the link
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...sPageName=WDVW

i might call them to see if its legit. but me and my dad are trying to figure out why they would sell the whole engine and transmission out of a brand new car. could they be doing a V8 conversion???? we dont know but it still seems like awsome deal. unless it shoots up to 5k by the end of auction.

Could be like an insurance pay off delaer auction item. Maybe there just parting it out or something. Possibly sever rear end and frame damage or something? Dunno. It would be interesting in an fc though.

I doubt you have the resources of the money to do this properly.
Don't bother.

I've looked and I pretty sure no one has done this. You'd have to custom fabricate the motor and tranny mounts and a thousand other things. And if it matters I bet that renesis + tranny will cost just as much as a LS1/T56. And seeing as how the Ls1 is a more proven swap, dont bother w/ the renesis until the engine gets cheaper and more proven.
