as it's considered a pretty advanced swap requiring alot of custom modifications alot 'can' go wrong
but in saying that, a healthy budget is your friend
this is not a low ballers division, just letting you know straight away
not many workshops will be able to help you with the swap, and the ones that will will charge accordingly...
a good DIY, the ones I know have been built by ppl in their spare time over months of off road...
Budget around 23k with todays shitty dollar on the US and Yen...
a quick reference of the shiz you need will have you seeing how I justified my point...
