Well, the mounts would have to be custom made, I don't the transmission bolt pattern is the same as the standard D-Series, and you would have to run an aftermarket EMS capable of running C.O.P. Did I mention you would be doing all this and still not be making much in the way of power past a D16Z6 or so?

it's impossible, the transmission is on the opposite side than what it is in that year car, and the engine spins the opposite way. I mean i guess it's not impossible, but it would require alot of custom work that isn't worth it. Plus the D17 is a really shitty engine anyway, they blow up. enough said.
