^^ yeah right

Lame? I thought it was pretty interesting. I have seen a million types of V6 and V8 hatchback swaps over the last 15 years in Seattle where the Honda scene is much bigger than Arizona, but of all the V8 engines in a hatch I have ever seen, this is by far the nicest set up. It is not like the ones I have seen where the hood does not clear on those V6 Chev and Honda engines, or the V8s that are totally for the drags strip only. This is about the sweetest set up for a V8 in a hatch I have ever seen done.

because its not just a swap.

he literally took the ek shell and put it over a corvette.

boostedrex · 07-20-2008, 10:43 AM

i watched the build up on that car on ht, and he id alot more then putting a shell on

Ryan · 07-21-2008, 01:08 PM

I agree it would take some serious work. I just got a 4Runner that I will be putting an LS1 into. It is a very common swap and quite easy so I am sure it will not be near the hassle it was to get one in that lil hatchback

Should be fun, maybe someday I will make something like this but I would rather build something more realistic.
