I'm also getting a turbo manifold for it, so once I get it in and going and have the kitting details worked out...it's gonna get going REAL fast.
I've done swaps before (8 second rwd turbo-4 Focus, 10-sec turbo Pinto driver), so I don't see where it'll be too hard all in all. The flywheel and bell seem like the most difficult part, but I don't think it'll be too hard. The worst part is the shipping...LOL

If this deal goes well and I can pull off the swap without too much drama, I'm going to start bringing them in on a regular basis. I've got to figure out the bellhousing/flywheel situation, but that shouldn't be TOO hard, I've done plates and adapters before. I'm going to run it with an aftermarket ECU, so that's no biggie. I'm going to try and "north-americanize" them as much as I can to keep down costs and make them easy to maintain here.
If anyone out there is interested in them...hit me up. The more I get, the cheaper they are. I may even have them in the next week or two if everything works out ok.
