Not that I'd do it but I think this is an interesting proposition for someone who wants basic FI power for a track car without any of the draw backs. Lighter than the base FA20, forget the added weight a turbo or SC kit will add, far more reliable, also finding a replacement if you do manage to pop the engine would be cheaper and easier than replacing the FA20, for those who aren't interested in V8 power levels.
That said, there are problems. Like any swap, good luck getting everything working. ABS and TC are the biggest hurdles but even just getting basic things like AC, speedo and tach working can be difficult. And finally, as others have mentioned, you can get a V8 which will put out way more power for just a bit more cost (in some cases, even cheaper if you're willing to use an old truck engine) and not any more effort. Also, the LS swap has been done and is well documented and help is available but getting help with an LF/LG swap might be challenging and impossible without the first question being asked is "why aren't you doing an LS?"
