Great looking swap! I am so happy more and more people are putting LSx engines into different cars now. It kills the glory of all the Loyalist. Needless to say, an LSx in ANY car sounds damn good! More pics!

ok guys, been workin on the car still pretty much every night after work. seems like you take 2 steps forward and then 5 steps back with something like this. i have definately made some progress though. i have the engine mounts made and welded in so the engine is supported on its own. i made a trans cross member also. will be taking pics soon to update this thread.

You must wear out the period key on your keyboard once a month. At least your shift (as in capitalization) key should be in brand new condition

I have been following your civic thread with interest and it is awesome so don't take this the wrong way but last I checked (yesterday) your civic isn't 100% needs paint and other clean up stuff at least.

Back to subject on hand this is a clean looking sweet build. I have always liked the look of th S2000's but thought they needed more go!

What are you doing for the electric power steering?
Could you have kept the ABS and still moved the motor back?
