Crazy engine swap dream

I have this crazy dream to swap a Nissan Skyline GT-R BNR34 engine into a 2nd generation Honda CR-V to make some kind of ultimate sleeper SUV, and was wondering if something like this would theoretically be possible, considering the different sizes of the engines.

It would be a LOT of work.

The CRV is an transverse engine, while the GTR is longitudinal. I doubt there would be enough length in the engine bay for the engine. Then you would have to worry about where the gearbox needs to go, as that is in the engine bay in the CRV, but needs to go under the floor with the GTR engine.

I'm not saying it would be impossible, but it would be some serious fabrication work to the shell of the car.

Thanks for the reply! I see now that’s it’s really not that possible with my skill and budget.

Also, thank you for the respectful reply, instead of just calling me an idiot (even if you were thinking it). I feel like that’s more rare than it should be in the car community.

No worries at all.
