I think it could be a real fun swap. Most of it will be custom, so that is where the cost is going to be. I also am not sure how well any of the bmw auto transmission will fit, they seem to be quite large and will require more work to fit in the trans tunnel. Mount a manual may be an option, but more work again.

I am quite interested in the B58 as a lightweight all aluminum "2jz replacement".

No reason it has to be a racecar only option. Motec can control the factory canbus, just requires you to make your own harness and such. Pure's option is good because most of the hard work is done for you already, but no reason you have to stick to only their packages to do swaps.
