Default V7,V8 engine into classic?

Hi guys.

I was looking all aroud SN forum to find how difficult is hear transplant for my V6 classic.

I was thinking something like V7,V8 JDM STI engine.
Is it possible to do full swap(with everything under the bonnet,full package)?
What do i need to do that,besides full engine?Stand alone ECU and whiering too?

Any ideas welcome

No rush Jay cause i believe this project will only start if i sell my V6 engine first since i already have huge stock of parts stored soon ill add another gearbox combo leftovers so last thing i need is one extra engine

ATM i am just gathering information of what i need to do the job properly
The second option would be forging my exsisting motor but i really only want around 400/400 with great spool which only AVCS and twinscroll can offer.

I did just this into my old Type R, using a twin scroll set up, and using the v8 engine loom and ecu, which I spliced into the original Type R loom.

It was a type R, so no ABS.

Battery is in the boot.

Airbox is v7.

I did it myself, so no labour costs.

You need everything in the engine bay from a newage, along with the ecu and harness.

I have done the same conversion here in Manila philippines and have so far done 2-3 already. last one is running a JDM 05 Spec-c motor. basically same as EMB conversion except mine we did it with evrything including the ABS pump and the JDM guage.
By the way our is is LHD version. evrything will clear including the drivetrain
