You haven't seen it all until you watch the video of the cat getting chiropractic care on You tube.

I would have preferred to see him shove it in a CRX Si, but that’s just me. Every ricer had a Civic hatch in the early 2000s, it was the equivalent of an IROC-Z for guidos or a Fox body for rednecks (I had several Fox bodies )

He spends months developing this swap. It will take the first Honda thief two seconds to steal it and strip all the parts. I mean: I hope that doesn't happen. I'm glad Honda is selling crate engines so people don't have to waste 35k on the whole fwd car.

 

[SubieRubyRoo]

Dareo, where do you get crate engines? The article said he got a wrecked JDM car, which is "almost" the same as the new Type R engine. Honda isn't doing anything here...

 

[peejaycruiser]

Mighty Car Mods put a type r into a JDM Mini. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEqOfUxzXio

I'd love to take a 1950's classic car and put a Hellcat under the hood.

Isn't that thing going to have monstrous torque steer? Did he have some plan to address that which I missed in the article?

My thoughts exactly.

??? Engine swaps in Civics are pretty common..... What I find funny is the description of the 306HP mill as a "Monster", LOL! That's like stock Pentastar power.

True, but 306hp in a 2100 pound car is pretty substantial. The 3.6 Grand Cherokee weighs more than twice that.

And don't forget the PentaStar has 2 more cylinders.

For sure, I just found the whole thing to be a bit funny. That's similar to a stripper fox with a warmed over 302 in it. Pretty much standard drag racing fare but it is being described there like this is revolutionary I remember, fondly, from my days at the track there was an even older vintage Civic with a newer engine swapped into it and a huge honkin' turbo on it. Thing was running low 13's IIRC and they had the valve cover off and a breaker bar on the head bolts between runs trying to get the head gasket to stop leaking hahahahah.
