First off, a MUSTANG if practically my favorite car,
Secondly, a MUSTANG is REAR wheel drive and an Acura is front. You'll have to do some transmission mods if you "turn" the motor.
Thirdly, why bother? (then again it is your car.)

Lastly, what do you mean by "cheap motor?"

Which Mustang kit did you buy? From what company?
I know the "new" (99-present) one comes with two intakes, two air plenums, two sets of valve covers, etc. And some really great detal on it. So I'm sure you're not talking about this one.

Why on earth would you put a Integra motor in a Mustang?

I don't know what the hell you're complaining about because Revell puts a lot of detail into their engines. Perhaps you're referring to the Revell '99 Cobra? That engine is just about as real as the 1:1 thing, with exception to wires and small details.

And it won't work. FWD != RWD

OH god. I think I just deciphered what he's been saying.

It would seem that he buys a lot of revell-monogram models, and they all seem to come with the "same" engine. And he said the mustang came with a "cheap motor" and a lot of other models also came with the "cheap motor". So this kid doesn't seem to differentiate between the different V8 engines commonly offered in revell kits (I've yet to see a modern v6 engine in a RM kit, nearly 75% of them come with a v8). HAH.

Look kid, I don't know what the hell the hobby guys told you, but don't make things harder for yourself by trying to retrofit a front wheel drive engine with half the number cylinders into a mustang.
