Nice, I think a T-56 would be insane but any manual trans would still be sick. But yeah mad props on the build and the stockish looking outcome.

DO IT ON ALL FOURS
Re: My V8 crx build! yep its real
.Man there sure is a lot of ghetto rigging going on with this car. Please tell me you have a full exhaust and you are not just running open headers. From the video you posted I would lean WAY to the side of open headers. If that is the case ditch the automatic idea (I don't even see a kick-down cable anyways so I hope that trans is manual valve body). Either that or be expecting to rebuild a lot of transmissions because of no back pressure and no TVC. Get a stick for that thing

I love how you still managed to keep the front T-bar on the car. But you did cut into the firewall so that explains it.
Great job man!
Great job man!

As much as I don't like the idea of a v8 in a tuner, I bet that thing would make me **** myself. Only reason I don't like the idea is because it would just be odd to see a little car like that to drive past sounding like a muscle car. I'm sure it's still a beast though. I would love to go for a ride in a v8 rex. It's pretty awesome that you were able to do that. You should consider putting that talent to work and make you some money.
