One word man, WHY?
If you want an american motor, Just buy an american car!
American motors and Jap cars don't mix. Its like water and oil.

first off, it something different. second, i dnt like american cars, 3rd if u read my first intro, i had a boosted b16 in it b4...its a project car that no one has pulled of cleanly. thats what im trying 2 do... plus you cant tell me ud **** ur pants if u saw a crx next to u at a stoplight with a lopey idle and out of nowhere the rear tires light up and 450 whp and 500+ torque screams at you? the car will run 10s and most likely do wheelies.... so the real question is why not

i love hondas, but i love the sound of a v8 hitting 8,000 rpms...thats wht this one will do...

[QUOTE=V8CRX;36513798]its a project car that no one has pulled of cleanly. [QUOTE]

oh yes they have. Some dude had pictures of his corvette motor, rearend, dash swap etc running around. Don't say it aint been done. His was clean as hell too besides the gay dash thing. He had pictures of all sorts of crazy fabbed up things he did.

Sorry to **** on your parade.

It's an import forum, did you really expect a 100% open-arms welcome?

From an engineering standpoint, I think it's badass. It's a huge challenge integrating three separate critical systems (engine, drivetrain, chassis) and you're doing it great.

cavaliers aren't cool looking like the CRX, and any honda engine doesn't have the low end torque that a similarly built American v8 has.

I think a 850 cfm carb is a little big for a 355sbc. using the basic CI x RPM / 3456 = CFM

so... with your engine assuming 85% volumetric efficiency (most n/a engines are around 80% VE, but being a performance application guesstimate 85), and a 5500rpm max engine speed...

355 x 5500 / 3456 = 564.96

Therefore, a 600cfm or a 650cfm carb (looks like you have a holley in the pics) will serve you well. I like mechanical secondaries, always fun to crack 'em open and hear it sing.
