Its not a good idea all around Your going to run into some clearance issues with regard to your rad among other things and there will be alot of little extras along the way that will add up. The weight issue is actually a myth. It will add some weight to your front end, however by leaving out the A/C your only looking at about 100lbs give or take a few. How much do you weigh?? You will definately need good suspension in the front for this swap and you might run into varios tuning issues when complete. Also you will run into a bigger problem with the axles. You will have to make the axles necessary for this engine out of B18C parts blah blah blah......not good.

You will not lose your handling!!!!

However>>>

All in all I say an unwise choice when you weigh the pros/cons

In all honesty...your talking about spending, by the end of the project, just as much as you would have spent on a nice B18C with some mods pushing (roughly 190chp) or a B18C type R (210 chp) even

Just as much HP sauce with less headache. Trust me!!!
