It's going to be a lot of custom fabrication, but if you want to do it, more power to you. You'll probably get flamed for making this post though.

You'd need custom mounts for the 20b in the engine bay, shortened driveshaft, and you'd also have to figure out what to do for mounting the differential in the rear of the car. Your best bet is probably going to be going with a full tube chassis if you decide to do this. Its certainly not impossible though, I know of a 2JZ-GTE powered tube chassis Toyota Starlet thats in the process of being built right now.
