well, how hard is it to intall one?

well, it's like building a computer from scratch. Y'know, a pile of dirt and some scrap metal <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Seriously, if you're asking, you should take it to somebody

I'd get someone to do it atleast the first time.  Make sure they will let you watch and ask lots of questions and if you think you can do it yourself then more power to ya!  If not then its time to find someone who takes money under the table to pass you.

herez also another place that sells CA engines.
www.heavythrottle.com
i think they were $2000 or so.  i've heard that the swaps are just like the sr20 swap just a little easier cuz they are smaller so it gives u more room.
good luck with the swap.
