has anyone ever tried to put a c32a into an accord?? i know the legend are rwd, but are there any fwd tranny's that would fit onto the c32a, b/c that'd be ****** sweet.

i just had another thought, and maybe i should be asking the acura guys this, but i know the legend coupes are rwd, are the 4 doors?

Acura Legends were FWD. And based from your name, I'm assuming you have a 91 Accord, which means there's no way you could fit the engine into your car.

go find a pictures of a legend coupe, the back of the engine is facing the back of the car, and if that still isn't enough to convince you that they are rwd find a picture of just the engine and transmission and you will planely see that it is not a fwd set up,

and i wasn't talking about putting one in mine, i have no money, i was just wondering if anyone had heard of anybody doing it.

*sigh*....before it's asked again, YES it can be done...but it'll cost upwards of $15,000 to complete it...it's really not even worth it unless you just have money burning a hole in your pocket.
(For more information, just search for "RWD Legend"...there's countless threads with the explaination of what must be done and how much it will cost)

Need I go on?

You should look more carefully at the transmission and where the driveshafts are.

Lol yea dude, they are fwd.

91akkord

alright, but how does it work with the engine like that? i've always read that they were fwd, but i never believed it, anyone care to explain?

The transmission has a differential that changes the direction of rotation, just as a rear differential does for RWD vehicles.
