    No to sure to be honest I'm get in it off a friend and it's out of his project ute as he is going bigger. I know it is out of some holden ( chev ) depending on where you live. I know where I live we have a few regulations when it comes to engine swaps and from what I can remember this particular v8 fits in our guidelines as not to big as it gos on power to weight and I don't have to go along with the emission crap as the car come out before we cared about the ozone. I have googled and there is no info around on ppl doing the swap into the rn20 just the latter models.
