I'm assuming there might be a suitable box from a M140/240 that would fit without a crazy amount of work.

Tried looking on here but doesn't seem to have been mentioned this far, which is surprising.

Thoughts?
First thought is why? I’m just trying to figure out what benefit there would be over a 2J, LS or UZ engine? If it’s just to be the first person to do it then sure I guess it would be cool.
