Default future engine swapping in a prelude?

Hi i tried searching already and found nothing.

I am wondering if its going to be possible to make a practical k series engine swap into a prelude. And if theirs any companies out there working on it right now for preludes?

Thanks

why would you want a k series engine in a prelude to begin with?

You can give Rick your opinion and he might be able to get appropriate mounts/swap info if there is enough interest shown... HTH

what are you running?

The h22 is nice.. but to much work.

-u cant really turbo charge it because the pistons will stick to the cylinder walls
-then once you have it turbo charged at low psi you will want more Boost so you'll need to get forged pistons
- but if u get forged pistons you gotta have your block resleeved BLAA BLAAA BLAAAa...

Why not just get a k series (if possible)? lol

First and foremost:

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE WITH ENOUGH MONEY.

Now that we have that said, plan on spending a lot of money custom fabricating the motor mounts, shift linkages, and having your axles line up nicely. The H series motors have been neglected in the past by the aftermarket industry, but if you notice a LOT more companies are designing things geared specifically for the H series motors. By the time you blow all your money fabricating a K swap then throwing a turbo on it, you could have a fully built prelude motor putting out over 400whp safely.

But you want to be different, so go ahead... and when you are done post pictures. It is good to go against the grain, but when it involves pissing your money away that's where I call it quits.
