Someone please tell me something because this entire thread is beyond aking any sense. Whats next a sex change operation?
Nothing cool or exciting? The power and handling of a Corvette stuffed into a tiny, lightweight Civic isn't cool OR exciting? And now it's Procharged and intercooled? That's not cool or exciting? What, do you sky-dive from Mach 2 fighter jets or something to not find that much HP in that little light car exciting?
This is a little bit more involved than your motor-swapped trucks, bud.

Wow, how'd I miss this swap. Two thumbs up on it. Does anybody else have one? .....Nope. Heck it goes down the track and it looks like fun. Might not be my first choice for a swap, but if everybody built the same thing it would be a pretty boring world. Congrats on getting it done.

Very cool just found this via a rat rod search. Paint that FMIC and tubing black to keep the sleeper look!

No joke. All that guy did is drop a rear-drive V8 where another rear-drive V8 was. This is a whole different level.
