The RB and the VQ weight about the same and the RB actually sits back a little more then the VQ does so it has a little better CoG. It cost about 6K for a engine and about another 1500 for a tranny but then you have to modify the RB Tranny cause the from driveshafts for the AWD come straight out of the tranny and it will not be compatible as is. Plus whatever other modifications your lookin at at least 12K for the swap and thats if you got a hook up on the install and tuning.

From the pictures it also seems to sit a **** load lower to the ground then the VQ as well...it does sit further back sinze it is a "smaller" motor.
