I think MM&FF did it a while back.

If I remember correctly, its the hardest of all the motor swaps to do in a fox.

I hope you decide to do it though, it would be bad ass.

Then goto the modular conversions section.
Almost all info on mod swaps that exists is there.

The lightning swap isn't really any harder than every other swap.
