That engine will fit and if you put it in yourself it's prolly the cheapest/best mod for the 2nd gen after a sportier suspension. You may want to consider a beefier transmission too. I never got the chance to do mine ever since i challenged a truck to a deathmatch and lost. Good luck!

Oh and you'll need a different wiring harness and possibly differnet exhaust pieces IIRC.

edit: closer look at the site and it seems like it comes with everything you'll need. at 1200 that is a steal. I wish i would have seen that site when i still had my 2nd gen.

2nd edit: I just saw that it is AWD as well. I have no idea what it would take to make that if if you don't already have an AWD tranny in there. But if you do make it fit, i will steal it from you
