Best way to do it if you really want to is to buy a wrecked 850R and swap everything over to your car.

You will need all the wiring,computers,exhaust and all that stuff.

Yep/ It is definitely more involved than just swapping out the motor

It is going to be the same thing.

Try to find a wrecked one.
