Default Ford Zetec in CB7 swap

Like what the title says, I'm swaping a 2.0 Zetec and 6-speed trans from a Focus SVT in my 91 Accord. Yep, you read right, a Ford engine in a honda

So, what do you guys thank? I've already posted this on cb7tuner http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/sh...12778 and focusfanatics http://www.focusfanatics.com/f...70945 and I'm just woundering if anybody here has any input.

What type of input are you wanting?

I can safely say no one has done it before....... So I don't think you'll get some detailed tips haha.

Not really sure why you'd choose that motor though, seems like there'd be tons of other options that would give you the same output.

For the amount of development (and money) needed, a K-series engine would be a better option.

you know fabricating axles or finding ones that work will be a ridiculous challenge, also trying to fab up motor mounts. If i was going to drop some serious money in a "different" kind of swap then i would like to look clean and not ghetto. I personally dont think this swap will happen, but prove me wrong and do it. I really dont like the zetec motors, everybody is a wannabe vtec. Personally a h22 with some cams IHE could be done a lot cheaper and push easily over 200whp. But i know you definitely dont want the h22 because you are considering this swap.

Well good luck,
