I have a question, I have a 97 Civic LX, and I was wondering if a Chevy 350 small block engine would fit in my civic?

Sure. Why not go for a newer V12 benz engine, they're twin turbo, pushing a bit less than 500 HP? :lol:

Seriously though, you could, but you'd have to do a lot of cutting and welding, plus God knows how much more custom work and parts..... would probably be a whole lot cheaper to swap in a B-series. But if you pull it off, please post some pics of the setup!

gl with converting to rear wheel drive

:loser: put down the crack pipe.

Common sense here... ANYTHING is possible if you have the right amount of $$$ :naughty:

at a local drag strip i saw a 92-95 hatch with a 350 in it and it only ran like a low to mid 11's. thats fast but i would rather do it with a four cylinder

Would a .357 fit between your eyes?

Hahahahahhaha!

You know it really pisses me off when people attempt to do this, talk about this, or actually do this. This type of procedure is SACRALEGE!!!!! Sometime before my life is over I am going to find an old Camero or Corvette and put a Honda engine in it to piss off all those american iron lovers because of all the times they piss me off!!!! Could you imagine a car like that at one of those car shows with all of the old timers there who know nothing but how adjust a carburetor and which gear ratio to use in there rear end (it seems like that is all they talk about at those kind of shows). This will be my goal, of course, after my b16a2 engine is built. Want to let everyone know that AEBS also does awesome sleeving jobs, would recommend them for your next motor build.

:iagree: with the right amount of money & redneck engineering anything is possible. If I did something like that(thought about it many times) the engine would be in the rear. Ever seen these : http://www.v8archie.com/index.shtml that place is near my house.

Actaully lets bump that up to a .50 desert eagle right between the eyes. Why put an american engine in an import? It's like someone taking a 402 over a 2JZ motor..... :screwy:

I know people do it with old datsuns and rx-7s but at least there RWD gosh man just sell your civic and go buy a camaro or two.

Kit cars RULE! :icon16:

u know u can do anything with the right amount of cash. good luck converting to RWD. you'l be doing alota fabricating :smile: power to weight ratio also comes into mind here, if u drop that engine in there u are adding alota weight that u wouldnt have if u swapped for a B series motor.

It would only be about 160lbs heavier than swapping a B, and with the massive amount of torque it won't even matter.

is there any way that i can take the front end off of a mid eighties camero and put it on my moms honda element? i hear that it can be done but ive never seen it. i want the subtle, yet refined "white-trashey" look, and im sure my mom would enjoy it. after that is done i want it to look like the sheep dog van from dumb and dumber. and then i want to put machine gun turrets and missile launchers on the back (may be a good alternative to the "brake check"). i then want to fabricate a mechanical penis to shoot marshmellow flavored cream by request into passengers mouths. this would be purely non sexual though.

in all honesty though, i read an article in a mag about a tiburon with two engines. one front mounted and one mid mounted. one powering the front wheels, one the back. somewhere in california (the land of milk and honey). i guess the guy would pop the hood show dudes what he had then take their money...pretty badass. proves that you can do just about anything if you want to get creative enough.,..
:rofl:

I saw a Cadillac with a second Northstar V8 stuffed where the trunk would have been. Can't remember the website, but it was pretty quick for being so heavy.

As for that tiburon, I saw that article too. God, I wish I could've seen that burnout in person.... :iceslolan

I've seen the Twin Northstar Cadilac in Motor Trend, I think, recently. That some crazy shit how they both work exactly together.

:werd:
1. Who cares about weight, its RWD.
2. V8 will sound MUCH better than most any 4 banger.

You could easily(not mentioning the labor) run 12's with a stock 300HP LT1. Honeslty if you want a V8 and/or RWD civic then go buy a tube frame & slap a civic body on it. That would be the easiest way, but I still want a big block in the back of mine :eek7:

i saw an audi tt with 2 engines on tv, 800 plus HP to the wheels. pretty damn sweet.

Hey to the guy who wants to put a 350 in the civic it can be done. Find a S-10 frame change the mounts do some cutting and fab up mount for the transmision and you will have it. Well it will take a lot more work but that is the basics. I know because i am helping a guy do it right now. Oh yah yes I am crazy for those of you who are rippin on this guy. I think it is posible for a 1984 caprice classic to beat a vette, well with a lot of modifications. My advise to yah go for it a civic with a 350 would be fast as all get out, and the plus would be it would be rear wheel drive.

crazyv8power, sit and meditate for a second. Imagine a group of guys at a party or something, talking about cars and they bring up a subject about swapping a V8 into a Civic. They talk back and forth for a while and you sit there, watching them. Now imagine 10 months go by and that same group of people get together, and you're there. You jump in out of nowhere and start talking about V8-swapped civics as if the conversation had started a few minutes ago. You then receive multiple beatings because you are a retard. Don't bring up 10 month old posts, half of these people aren't even on the board anymore.

ALright you got me i am an idiot. I did not relize that it was a subject so long ago i found the messeges on a random search of the web, and since I was a part of the forum i thought I would give the guy some positive feedback instead of ridicule. Sorry I ofended your precious eyes. Oh yah and you and people can try to beat me it ain't gonna happen.

Ok boosted331 this is gettin out of hand i did not mean to piss off so many people. This was a stupid pissing match to get into. Yah an by the way the whole beating statement. What I meant was you can try to physically beat me (with fists). I know my caprice is a shit bucket now, but when it is done it will not be. So now lets put an end to this. I am an idiot with shitty cars, and stupid dreams. Are yah happy now?

why would anyone in their right mind want to do such a thing? oh well whatever floats your boat
