93 Del sol ls1 swap Just wondering if a ls1 would fit, or could you make it fit in a 93 del sol?
i know there would be major hacking to make it RWD, along with a lot other stuff.
just throwing ideas around.

Get a miata instead. I had a delsol before and that swap would be a very complicated project. Not worth the effort IMO.
Plus that car is a convertible and gets it stiffness from the floorboard hump and since youd be cutting that, you make the car very weak. I would twist from the torque unless you welded the roof shut.

man i dont know how much positive support you are gonna get. this project is gonna cost you 15,000-20,000$ to do. im all for doing crazy **** but at the end of the day you have to ask is it worth the time, money and effort?
but to each his own and best of luck.

i'd do it for you for $8K, you provide the motor, tranny, driveshaft, custom axles, and rear end.. now speaking from experience your gonna need another $4K when im done.. im currently building a 2002 Subaru WRX LS1, and if i were you id get an RX7 buy the kit, maybe spend $10K total and have one badass RX7, with some nice *** paint and wheels...
if it fits a civic it'll fit a del slow ?

and just from looking at that, the weight of the del sol would go from stock of 2500lbs, add all that extra frame, motor, trans, rear end... and were talking like 3400-3700lbs...
IMO i just dont think its worth dumping that much time and money into if my turbo WS6 will beat it easy....
i thought about just buying the shell today anyways and putting a 4banger and turbo... but thats just point less lol

I have a friend that did it to an 96 integra. Its all motor and runs 9s at the 1/4. Im about to by a 97 del sol and try something diffrent. I want to make it awd with rb26 just for fun. But it would be hard. So i am going to most likely do a ls or f20.
