Del Sol f23 swap
Right now I have a crashed 1999 Accord EX f23a1 automatic (and keeping it automatic) and I think I have a 92 Del Sol lined up. It will sadden me to see the old Accord put down after being crash 40 million times by the last kid that owned it and finally t-boned, but his dad was a mechanic at a Honda dealership at 250k miles it runs like a top! I've started rebuilding various parts, soon the engine, and later it will be resurrected and go really fast. What I need to know pretty soon is what I actually need to put it in a Del Sol. Worst comes to worst lets just say the Accord k frame will be shooved in the car, or it could go nicely and with only slight modifications the k frame will go in there. I expect I will be buying mounts for it though, my dreams never come true. So first question: I expect the Accord k frame to be bigger and have a different bolt pattern than the Del Sol, but my grandfather is a professional machinist. Would it be a good idea to see if I can use the Accord k fame because that would cost $0? Moving on, I plan to turbo this car, so although I will have another computer, I should use the Accord wiring harness and rewire the simple stuff like instrument cluser instead of 400 prong connectors for the computers. Any idea what size cv axles I need?
For now that's all I need. I am really excited about this, it's gonna be sweet.

Re: Del Sol f23 swap
Use paragraphs, that is hard to read.
I would research heavily to see if anyone has done an Automatic J swap in the del sol chassis. I know that some of the honda Automatic transmissions are larger than their manual counterparts. This could be a very expensive and time consuming swap due to the size of the transmission.

If you didn't catch it I have an f23a1, same k frame as the j series (Idk transmission). Also it won't be expensive, I do everything myself, any modifications will be made by me. I am not concerned at all by the clearance of the transmission as long at it doesn't interfere with the frame.
Also what do I need to look up about the eg/ds/del sol chassis?
