    It can be done and has been in the past, RB26dett heads are around the $4000 mark (I have seen one for $2000 once tho). A custom cam belt needs to be sourced and the computer needs to be changed. Can't remember too much else but its a pretty big job.

    this might help with ideas. make sure you read about the timing belt tensioner being relocated.
