search for m30 swap or check the engine swap forum, theres alot of people who have done this now, and a few undergoing the conversion now.

you'll need to fab engine mounts or buy some form m30.de, m30.de is also a good site for info, you;ll just have to use google to translate the pages into english.

And the ease of the work involved depends upon your ability.
