ok my buddy bought an 01 acura CL type S. it has a 3.2 v6 v-tech engine (230 HP plus a new injen cold air intake)with 80k miles and a brand new tranny with about 200 miles on it. its a shame that he works twice as much as he sleeps. so he wrecked it while napping at the wheel. so im trien to work out a deal with him and drop it in my celi.now i didnt do any measuring yet but im thinking this might work. im not worried about mechanical work and a lil bit of fab work. what im wondering is would i have to use the fuse panels and every lil electrical piece under the hood and dash?

it would be illegal to have a different manufactures engine in side the body of a different car.

But besides that, it would not be impossible.

If they can get the engine to run on a engine stand, then you can get the car to run in any car body if it can fit. Essentially any car is just a metal frame you can bolt any engine to.

only worries you have are axles, you would have to use ALL of the honda wiring.



how is it illegal??? ,if it was illegal then you wouldnt see Mini coopers/lotus elise's with K20s ,RX-7s with an RB26dett and a civic with LS1 and so on. where did you get this information from??
