The motor 'should' drop in.. not sure if it will fit height wise though, may need a bonnet buldge.. :P
The standard AU computer will run all the AU dash/smartlock... Need an aftermarket computer... Motec is what was suggested to me to run the Barra motor.. so yes you will be running 2 computers.. The BA fly-by-wire will be gone, and you need to get a acclerator cable fabbed up to work.. Ive looked down this route, was going to be a little shy off 10k to get it on the road and driving.. inc purchase of the BA motor. 10k on a conversion.. or 10k on whats already in your engine bay........ Thats all n/a though, would be more expensive for a turbo ba motor. |

Too hard waste of time only for those with more money than sense.
Why not drop in a boss 290 or an afterburner jsut as easy and road registerable too. |

But even if you dont go the force fed route, and went N/A the money spent on the conversion to get a stock BA motor, could have you a seriously wild n/a AU motor... |
