that would be stout man if you can fab and you already have the motor why not...sounds like you have a shop so it would be good for business too..im sure someone has done it before hell ive seen a v8 in a crx..it was almost as big as the car haha my guess is the suspension will need to be beefed up alot for that heavy v6..cant hurt to try and please post pics if you go through with it

it has been done before. i remember in the article (dont know where it is) that you have to pound the bottom of the one trut tower out to allow the pulley to fit. i am pretty sure that was the only major problem other than the mounts and harness.
