Ive went through this several times with the EJ, it is simply far to wide to fit in the frame. The valve covers would hit the fiberglass on both sides of the bay, nevermind the engine cradle portion of the frame that tapers inwards.
Im sure if you wanted to cut off the rear portion of the frame and the suspension that comes with it you could do something but its alot of work for an engine that is notorious for reliability issues. Sure the naturally aspirated variants are fairly bulletproof, but not much of an upgrade over stock in terms of power.
