Nice work, looks like a clean swap, what was the total cost of the project. Give a little more info please. Too bad you cant back up that sweet right hand drive conversion with a bigger motor. I kid! I would rock it.

So how much faster is it at the strip or road course? lol

I know you guys do it for status or whatever, but I'd much rather do a 99-00 or Acura EL front end first. What was the reason, btw?

Doesn't matter. People can do whatever they want. Everyone doesn't want the same car.

Hell, I have a last gen Prelude. Ain't much I could to set mine apart from the RHD and F20B swap I have. I didn't want the same Prelude as everyone else. If you're going to build a cookie-cutter on any car, might as well buy it built already...

woah wait a minute here... whats wrong with a sohc? they make wicked power turboed, they are plentiful and cheap.. theres a guy running in the 9's with a sohc using a $130 set of ebay pistons (forgot the brand).. just to see if it could be done and succeeded.

for parts and labor your looking $3000 includes everything. That means pulling the engine out and putting it back in. we give our customer's the option to just bring us the shell and we can install the firewall only without putting the engine back in. in that case if you bring ur own parts, we only charge $1000 to install the firewall only.
