Default F20C swap in EG???

No one ever mentions these motors...www.hmotorsonline.com has the F20C for 4500. Would are RWD conversion not be worth the trouble?

It would be alot of trouble but very doable in my opinion. In Austrlia (sp?) I believe it somewhat common for a certain racing class but with the same v8's in all the cars. If you have like 30k to spend on costum fabrication do it, otherwise good luck.

PS Dont flame this guy, its not that bad of a question.

what is the f20? the s2000 engine?

if so that would take MAD fabrications....if you are wanting it for a race car then i think the better bet would be mating the AWD crv powertrain to an eg....which i have thought about doing since i can get 250 hp out of a bseries....that would be a sweet little 2200 lb 4 wheel killer

its possible. very expensive

seen NSX motors into CRX, 4AG into a CRX.. complete conversions.. its just somethin to at when you see it.. but not somethin to do to your own car.. unless you got the funds of course why not, right? if you want to be different or go extreme, go ahead.. but I wouldnt TOO much trouble and not worth it IMO

Actually, this swap is being attempted by an associate of mine. He is located in Alhambra California. He is attempting to shoe horn the F20 into his 5 gen civic 4dr sedan usdm spec/eg8. I will tell you how the results turn out. The motor has been purchased, and the car has been prepped for construction.
6 years later it will be like the NSX powered CRX
sure it runs
but why? you spent 20,000$ on a honda thats not even gonna be that fast.

Are you sure it's F20C and not the F20B? There's a big difference between the two swaps.
