4age Questions

I have a 86kW 4age (ae86), which now has a stuffed crankshaft keyway due to the fan/alternator pulley loosening. A mechanic has told me this cannot be repaired. (Apparently this is a common problem with the first gen 4age due to the 'integrated' bolt/washer design). I have had no luck sourcing a crankshaft from a wreckers, so ive given up on that.
Anyway... I've decided to buy a 100kW 4age and swap the bottom end over and use my head. Then I can use all the RWD bits of my engine and get an 86kW motor but with stronger block etc. I've noticed other people have done this, my question is whether there are any issued involved with doing this?
Other thing, I'll prob buy the motor from SSS in Sydney. Anyone had any experience with them (good/bad).
Cheers,
Grant
