Since you have a 3A, most any "A" series engine will fit without too much trouble. Check out the 4AGE 20V silvertop and blacktop, along with the 4AGZE.

You'll need to do the wiring and need at least custom axles.

sweet sounds good what kind of horse power does that have?

165-170 on either engine. Shouldn't need custom axles though, I read that you can have the flywheel modded and use the stock transmission. Seen pics showing it being done too.
