if you know what your doing, not that difficult. But by the sounds of your question you dont know, so i would get a shop to do it, or do some research first.

IntegraMark has a spectacular aura about

speed costs money. how fast can you afford?

what do you plan on doing with the car? drag, lapping, autox?

if it's for autox i'd worry more about the suspension than the motor. i know a guy in an eg hatch that autox's regularly with just a stock sohc and LSD tranny. his suspension and brakes on the other hand is a different story.
