    the main problems would be power steering rack hitting the alternator and extractors on the drivers side will need to be custom made to fit. Also might have a problem fitting gear box but can be fixed with a grinder and welder. also make sure you do research on which conversion kit you use eg mounts and what not because alot of people have had problems with off the self stuff. it will be the same as fitting the 5.7 to a vl pretty much. do some research on it there is heaps of info around
