V8-swapped Civic?

Hey guys, I was wondering on what you guys thought about this guy who swapped out his motor for I think a small Chevy block on his Civic.

stupid, for the amount of money, time and work that went into doing it you might aswell turbo a b series. turbo'd b series would make the same power and way lighter engine.

This car is probably more reliable than any B-Series turbo..... It can make 500 passes at 11.xx and never hiccup.....

It was. You'll also notice the motor wasn't vibrating and the fuel pressure guage was at 0.
