There is GOBS of info on swaps, but it will work on a straight swap. A new stronger clutch is needed, and a good ECU/VAF combo is recommended to get the most power/fuel economy out of the motor, than you should do preventative maintenance stuff like timing belt and waterpump, and more if you can, but for all purposes, it's a straight bolt-in-like-stock swap.

I meant "When did he put the ZE in HIS car?".

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
