the yb is a seriously heavyweight engine though.. I ran a mile when I got one on the scales.. over 140kgs.

Proven to get big reliable power though so depends how the car is going to be driven as to whether its a good idea or not.

Should be a great car mate. I did some work on a mates clio which he dropped a integra vtec engine in and ran a rwd system, i can give you a few ideas from that if you want on how to do somethings. good luck though mate.
