Engine swap in a Civic that's worth looking at!


Recommended Posts

stop your hating fellas. its 10.6 put to good use.

i tastefully/ well modified car, or a really clean tidy older will always get more interest than just another new car, takes more creativity and hard work. this deserves your respect!!!!

I realised a few years back that because the V6 fits the Supra box, and the V8 fits the Supra box - and the V6 fits the transverse 3SGTE type boxes (in MR2s)....the V8 must also fit the transverse box!

Turns out it DOES (Paul Woods tried it) but you need to grind a few ribs off the block to clear the driveshaft.

So.....transverse V8, in the back? :(
