Re: fastest swap time (rocco)
took 3 of us about 5 hours to swap/bolt/trouble shoot 2 motors from 2 cars and then swap them into the other viceverca car. we had the swap in and out pretty quick, it was just the trouble shooting that was long

Re: fastest swap time (rocco)
if you ignore the time that the car was ignored during the swap then it was probably about 6 hours total
old engine out was probably about an hour
swapping the wiring harness from old engine to new engine 3 hours (I'm slow)
puting the new engine back in and getting everything hooked up and running was about 2 hours
but the whole process took almost 2 weeks cause it wasn't a high priority

Re: fastest swap time (rocco)
about 10 hours from running to running d16z6 to b18c1 swap. would have gone a lot quicker but i was doing it myself and had to wait on my frined to help me drop the new motor in and mount it up.
i bet i could do one in about 4-5 hours if i had one other person who knew what they were doing to help out.

I pulled 2 motors and installed one in less than 24 hours. I started at 5:00pm in the afternoon on Saturday, Finished Sunday at 3:00pm. I had to go to sleep otherwise it would have been faster.

IF you have everything you think you will need and the tools, a swap can go by super quick. I havent swapped a Honda....yet but I swapped my 240sx with an RB20. It took me and a friedn about 23 hours spread over 3 days and that was some serious slacking too. We goofed off, took hella long breaks and I photographed alot of it. We had both motors pulled in 4 hours. I would venture to say that if you are prepared, a swap can be done in a weekend. With alot of slacking in between.

Re: fastest swap time (rocco)
If I remember correctly on one of the import shows on Spike TV they pulled a motor and swapped a new one in in like 4 hours or something like that. Of course that was a crew of guys who had done it quite a bit before, but still..that's fast.

Was this the Dudes from Pann Auto in San Diego? If I remember correctly they brought a stock civic to a car show and put together a Show and Go car during the car show.

a friend of mine pulled a blown b16 from a 88 civic hatch and put a new one in in 45 min. Thats from start to finish with the car running afterwards. Keep in mind that this was the fourth time puting a motor in this car.He tends to be hard on his cars and he uses lots of nitrous

Re: (second edition)
I watched Peter Cunningham's team at Real Time racing swap B18c5's in his ITR in 58 mins flat. Of course it was only the shortblock, not the whole swap, but that's pretty quick in my book.

Re: fastest swap time (mattssi)
Gravedigger's car: drove in garage with D16, drove out with B16 in like 4 hours. That was with us messin around and me going outside every 20 minutes to check on my dog
My car: pull d16, swap out bottom ends, flywheel, clutch, botom end gasket set, everything to a new short block, 4.5 hours on the ground running
2 cars: B16 out of my car, D16Z6 out of another car+ turbo kit+new clutch in, both cars running and leaving....5 hours from the time the first car pulled in.
Me and one friend pulled an engine in 40 minutes a few weeks ago. NO fluids on the ground, NO fluids on ourselves, and my garage looked just as clean afterward
And this is a little one car garage
yes, this roomy place
