hi i was wondering if there would be any way to swap the engine from an 88 chevy camaro v6 to an 89 crx because i have the camaro and it runs but the clutch is out of its and its either sell it or use it for a project so if anyone hase ne info id appreciate it.

 

that would be so much work

why would you even want to do that

 

just because i have nothing better to do and i have a lot of sentimental value with the camaro so i dont really want to get rid of it on top of that i havent heard of neone doing that so it'd be pretty cool

 

someone has done a ls1 swap into a ek

but why dont you fix up the camaro and then swap something else into the rex

 

It won't be easy, like if you have to ask you can't.

That motor is pure junk I had a 6er I bought as a project, it wasn't worth money the scrap yard gave me.

Keep the camaro, put in something nice same with the honda

 

ive seen a clip on youtube with a blown bigblock in a crx so it is possible...IMO it goes against the unspoken rule of domestic engines in imports...it just souldnt happen...i think your better off looking for a camaro shell and drop it in that

 

With money everything is possible.

hey just my opinion..a lot of honda enthusiats would be disgusted seein a chevy motor in a hondaq

 

My opinion... if you have to ask if it could be done... you probably can't do it.

Anything can be done with money...

 

Clutch isn't that difficult on that Camaro. If you don't wanna loose the Camaro, Put a Small block V8 in that car with a hot cam, carb, gear it to 4.10 and it'll scream for less money and work than putting a V6 in a Civic. Make the Civic your fuel economy car and the camaro your project. Chevy's aren't that expensive. Or just replace the damn clutch in your Camaro!!!

I agree 100%, except I cant say how hard the clutch is to do.

This reminds me of a guy that works at my highschool as an aid, has an IROC Z motor in his miata. He is really good at welding, and has money to blow on custom driveshafts and stuff too...makes it easier.

 

Just change the clutch on the camaro, please dont ruin a Crx

 

2 POS cars put together don't equal a good 1

 

i agree that would be a disgrace to imports lol if you dont want to spend much money but want to drop something in the rex go with a mini me swap or ls. Easy and low cost if you find the right deals.

 

Save the Honda and build a Locash Super 7 replica with your motor

 

put the single from your rex into the camaro, that'll **** off them muscle heads.

LS1 +RX7 = needs to be drug out in the street and shot
thats like puting a 350 in a datsun 280z
if you have an old import repair it don't basturdize it
and if the rx-7 is an fd ......they need a grenade up their a$$$

 

No need to get in a pissing contest fellas. Youtube the "V8 civic". ***** been done before.

 

LOl this reminds of the 3rd fast and the furious movie (Unfortunatley I've seen this movie) when they put the Nissan motor in the 68 Mustang. Funny. With a welder, anythings possible.

 

true but im a straight jdm guy so im not into those frankenstein swaps lol

 

to make it rear wheel drive its possible but, your gonna need to make a frame, i have a friend with a road course rex and he has a b18c5 and a crash gear transmission, rear wheel drive and its a beast 275-300hp if not more all motor to the rear wheels has itbs and a bunch of other **** but he had to make a whole frame for it and attach it to the existing car its COMPLICATED.. so think wisely if your bored and have money throw an s2000 swap and call it a day.... have fun!

 

@ beige89civic...nothing is possible with a welder, anything is possible with skill. sure its been done before, but at the op. either fix your camero, or find a new shell and build the hell out of the motor. if you want to put it in an import find a datsun or a miata, much easier. why the hell would you even attempt to make a fwd car rwd if you have no idea what your doing. i hope your daddys rich...

oh...and redb16coupe, do you have pics of your "friends" car...i i would love to see what the hell your taking about.

 

This is sad
