trying to do a k swap in my 87 rex, is it gonna be hard? are the motor mounts the same as the 88 91 rex if you get the hasport kit?

what all does it call for doing the swap

Yes.

No.

It calls for you to custom fabricate everything from mounts to axles to wiring since no companies sell parts for it and nobody does these swaps . . .

I hope you have a lot of money and are skilled at welding.

 

I need a drink.

 

It's funny how you can always tell whose serious about k-swapping and who isn't.

 

The wannabes ask a bunch of useless general questions.

The serious folks just dive in, do it, and figure things out along the way.

I've never seen anyone who has actually done a K-series swap start threads asking "Can you spoon feed me a list of everything I need?" If anything, they'll ask a specific question about a specific procedure that couldn't be answered with information found via a search.

 

THREE words that'll save you a major headache.

CASH FOR CLUNKERS!

 

I know right!

 

It's too bad there are no new cars that get better mileage than an '87 CRX

 

Good point. Cause today's cars are pigs when compared to older economy cars!

The Smart fortwo comes pretty close though.

But still.....$4500 for a CRX that one would normally get a few hundred for sounds like a tempting deal.
