Default Supra engine swap

Okay this kid i was talking to has a 2003 eclipse gs and is telling me that he is buyinga single turbo Supra engine and going to just "drop it in"
Granted i know nothing of 3rd gen just second, can that even be done while staying the the relm of reality.

Here are the problems i found with his idea.
First inline 4 to inline 6 turbo
Side mount motor to a straight back motor
Rear wheel drive motor to front wheel drive car ( supra motor in the eclipse)

Now i openly admit i could be wrong but i think the amount of custom fabrication would be astonishing

What do you guys think

YOu could also put a Bugatti motor on a moped, but it doesnt make it any less retarded.

No, most people still ask "why get rid of the twins for one? , I though two is better"
