The conversion is do-able but you would need a pretty serious budget and or a good mate withy a machining workshop.

The final series of mivecs (easily identified by their factory extractors) are good for 140kw with a decent exhaust and ignition/fuel tweaks, but the early versions gave them a bad name with reliability issues and only about 110kW. Early ones were the 'wrong' way round, they sat in the engine bay with the front of the engine on the passenger's side, so in a conversion the exhaust would be on the drivers side.
main problems:- clearance for the brake master would be marginal at best. the wide point of the plenum is 315mm from the centreline of the engine. ... there may be problems with the extractors on the idler arm as well (240mm from CL)
Length looks ok at an even 600mm to the crank pulley, but the sump may need "adjustment" to clear the front chassis member. Would need a custom sway bar as well to get round the sump. The engine is also quite tall @670mm (bonnet bulge no worries there )

plumbing problems could be solved pretty easily, and the throttle body needs to be moved to the other end of the plenum.

The main and most obvious problem is the gearbox. fugly FWD pattern, there is no chance of anything coming close without a fairly serious bellhousing graft.

Probably an easier conversion possibility for a LHD car......

I'll post some photos of the donk if anyone's interested and I can get it to work
