Oh god, another one. use search. Besides everyone knows that the easyest and best swap for a hatch is to drop a viper v10 in it.

The only stock engine swap you'll be able to beat a GT with would be with the H22, maybe. Or you could just buy a GT instead of spending a ton of work and money on a Honda swap if you're so adamant about beating one..

You can beat a Mustang GT 04 in a 1992 hatch with a B18C5.

i still think going with a rear wheel drive engine would be a better bet, then he can drift his civic. DORRRIIIIFFFFFTOOOOOOO!!!!! Initial D style.
