A KLZE v6 will bolt in using all OEM mounts/parts. The only difficult part is the EMS. It fits really well too...









Theres no good/easy FWD transmissions you can use with a rotary. The 626 one would be doable, but its a weak transmission. Under 300 whp, its easier to just do a KL or even turbo the original FS and get some decent rods put in the motor. Above that, the trans will be a seriously weak link.
