how hard is this to swap into a 98 civic?

don't even consider it

 

why not? im asking for info on this actually if you have any id appreciate it.

 

its a do-able swap i think it would be pretty cool to do even though it would be more pricey than most traditional swaps.

 

Because while the motor is relatively cheap, the trans, mounts, linkage, suspension upgrades, time, money, and resources involved in j-swapped cars aren't worth getting a cheap motor. Why do you think you can find j/k motors for cheap?

 

Lets put it this way, you'll need......

A new harness
A new ECU
New Axles
New Transmission
New Radiator Hoses
New Radiator
You'll have to adapt your accessiors to work, which you can't do
Also, the Axles won't line up in your car unless you can do custom axles, which you can't
Oh, Custom Motor Mounts!


Now that you realized you can't do it, your back in reality :-D
