Default 88 CRX SI rwd 3.6l DI Build

So i have decided to go a completely different route with my crx. I have acquired a donor car and will be swapping everything into it. Will take a couple months to get started but I'm thinking about youtubing the whole process. Heres pics of the crx and the donor car. Any thoughts?

This really isn't an ideal engine or trans for anything but stock power. The LY7 doesn't have much aftermarket support either. Stock the car would only have around 200 wheel horse power which is achievable in many other conventional ways. While it isn't impossible to strengthen the internals, adapt a different trans and add a twin scroll super charger, the car would still not be great at anything competition wise. But who am I to stop anyone else's dream?

Get to cutting and welding! With a welder anything can be anything else!

Send pictures along the way!

Actually its not the LY7 its the LTT, which have plenty of aftermarket support for it if you know where to look. Been in contact with Will over at overkill motorsports, he said he can easily get close to 700hp to the wheels. Which will be plenty of power for what i want it for. Im probably going to be swapping in the 6 speed manual into it as well.
