i mean....you wasted a good ej6...and you could of had a built/turbo'd k24/k20 for the price of the vette...and been MUCH MUCH faster....
but, man....that's just cool, haha. you'll NEVER cross another one on the road and you'll ALWAYS turn heads...
major props man!

it was totalled, frame was bent over a foot and a half......i wasnt going to do this but......i bought a running 1993 subaru impreza wagon to do it in.....but it ran fine so i sold it and made some money......i bought this civic last year for $200....with only a knocking motor.......sold it to a friend a few months ago....but then he bought a fox body so he didnt want to do the civic anymore......he stripped the car down so he could paint it......so thats how i got it back.....i have all the parts for the civic......so i measure the length of the civic and it was only an inch shorter on the wheelbase....so i just said **** it and decided to have some fun........if this didnt turn out well i was just going to buy a factory five GTM.....and i might still do that anyways......but for right now im having fun.....
i knew i would have some people in here that would scold me for this in here.....but in the honda forums, not one person has complained.....lol

No K20 or K24 piece of **** Honda engine is going to make more power than an LS1. The engine swap for a K20 alone is $6K bare bones, by the time you add the "turbo kit" you're no farther ahead, and the car would be slower and sound like **** anyway.

[QUOTE=reject;8670941]i think the thing he forgets is, that after his modified k24bla bla it would beat a STOCK vette engine, but if we were to mod the vette engine with say some juice or boost...
[/QUOT
It would be awsome with this package with 575 hp, if he had traction of course.

love the car. I've been thinking of building something close to that just haven't decided on a car yet.
