it would just be very different and not be like every1 else with there b16. it would just be an eye catcher and so unique. youll never see a drifting civic.

man you're not doing a k-swap here. and from the sounds of it you'll not be doing the work. so save yourself a lot of money and trouble and just go spend that 15k+ on something like a rx-7

would have to do some major fab. on it. like the floors would have to be cut and reshaped to fit the tranny and drive shaft.. probably a crossmember or 2 reshaped to fit around the drive shaft. your talk about thousands of dollars to do something like that and atleast a year or two depending on who does it.. i only mentioned a couple of things at that. if you have the money and the patience i would say do it you would be one of a kind.. but if your on the broke side or just dont want to wait that long then join the b series eg club.. just my .02 cents

theres no frabrication needed. it bolt up just like a b series motor, but you need a different radiator, hoses and some other stuff because the motor spins opposite of a b series.
