Anything is possible. Sounds like a shit ton of work. You will likely need to buy another chassis to swap parts over from such as the chassis harness, etc.

Getting the engine bolted in is about 10% of the way there.
The next 80% can go quickly with help and skill.
That last 10% takes about as long as the 90% that came before it.

I dont think megasquirt is but the tip of the iceberg.
I saw the words "street going again" so I assume that a harness like in my racecar will not cut it (plus, let me tell you from experience that making a minimal race harness from scratch can get very unwieldy let alone a harness for a car with just the minimum to pass safety inspection for the street.
