Re: best swap 92 civic

Your friends GT Mustang is a V8 and if bone stock it is pushing 260hp / 302lbs. It all depends on the driver also, if the Mustang is auto then you will have to deal with perfect shifts etc...Lots of variables, The GSR (B18C) will give you a good stepping stone, but either engine can be built up.

Re: best swap 92 civic

thats good he already has a stick. cuz an auto to manual swap will be a bitch. dont expect to be schooling mustangs wit just an engine swap, its gonna have to take a lil more work. as for engines go any b-series is fine.
