well the engine, from a wrecking yard in a city about 100 miles away.

the transmission, car-part.com

and nope. I have no ******* clue what i'm doing. not at all. what the **** is a throttlebody i'm lost.

I've done quite a few engine swaps on cars. not hondas, but other cars. so you can just see yourself out.

Jeese while I'm at it I should replace the flux capacitor too? I will come to you personally for all my swap woes. How do I change out a fuel injector? intake manifold what the **** is that?

I don't even understand how I bolt the flywheel to the axles..

I've seen the prices of all this before and that sounds kinda low but could be done. Tranny might be hard to find. I'm sure there will be some odds and ends that will all add up which I bet you would assume as well. Such as stiffer front springs, fuel pump, ecu, shifter, and wiring harness. I don't think it really matters how much experience this person has as long as he has a lot of determination. Less experiencing just means more learning.

Also op, if you have rpm systems modify the harness you can also use your 4cyl tach with your cluster I believe. It would be worth it if you're not strapped for cash like me lol. And you'll have a lot of understeer. Just play around with suspension, swaybars and probably braces too

that's what I plan. I have a fully adjustable suspension. hopefully the tokico's can handle the added weight.

I'm not really trying to do this on a hobo's budget. not gonna cut corners.

I have swapped quite a few engines in cars before.

hell I swapped blocks in my honda just a week ago. I was surpised it's so light. I just picked the short block up and put it in the engine bay lol
