Anyone think (or have done) a LT4 or LT1 motor would fit in a 96-00 civic?! haha 430hp right from the start... zoom zoom

yeah, more than a few 'minor' details with rigging it up..never said itd be easy!

 

LT1 is a piece of **** with nowhere near 430 from the factory, more like 275 right? LT4, is that a particular C4 Corvette motor or what did it come from? I remember Corvettes went from LT1 to LS1 in 97, F-Bodies in 98.

LS6

 

if they can put a V8 in a ford focus im sure they can do it to a civic


that
is in that

LT1 had 275 i think and the LT4 was just over 300. nowhere close to 430. But with enough money you can get almost anything done.

Yeah, but that's with factory backing, money, engineering and support, if I'm not mistaken.

 

Sure it could be done, but I hope you have deep pockets.

well my good friend, why dont we just put a ghini v12 in there while were at it then turbo it, buy gerbils to run the AC system from a cage in the front seat. SINCE THERE WONT BE ROOM IN THE ENGINE BAY FOR A PIECE OF PAPER let alone anything else. and we can do that whole 70's raked look since the motor is going to put the nose of the car into the sewer as it is... (dont worry guys, i can bust his *****, he is a friend of mine)

 

typical newbie thread. I would imagine putting the whole rwd thing into play would be the biggest headache

 

Why would you want to? The weight distribution would be just plain wrong for a rwd car. There's no way you could get most the motor weight behind the front axle. You're better off finding a front drive 350 and mounting it in the trunk. Also throw some wheelie bars on it (it's not like it'll be able to do anything but a straight line anyway.

If you're looking for a cheap/lighter car to put a lt1, ls6, whatever in, check out some of the cheaper cobra kits, or mid 70's MGB. You need something with an engine bay laid out for FR.

I'm not saying it can't be done, but it'd just be more effort than it's worth, and the car you'd have in the end would probably be less than 50% civic anyway.

I just wasted way to much time here

 

**** y put a v8 in there when u can slap in RB26DETT? now that SOB will haul some ***

 

Yupp.. "typical newbie thread".. im allowed, cuz im still a newbie lol
