its not really worth it, it makes about the same power as an b18a/b, at 140~hp 120~tq

for the amount of money you would spend getting it to work, you could just swap a K series.

For way less, you can get a B18C. You'll get more power.

Basically already been said, but ...

Possible? yes.

Practical? no.

I also doubt it would be an easy task finding mounts either. Basically..if Hasport don't make mounts for it...its probably not worth the trouble
