Yeah, see I look at my Accord and the way it looks from the front, and then the back, it looks to me like it should be RWD. So I want to see if it can be.
Also, the NA I have have a street port on it along with some other things like Turbo II injectors, CAI, ported intake, etc. It should be good for about 200hp or more. The main thing is, it is so much lighter than the H22, or the F22 for that matter.
I love frankenstein cars. A friend of mine has a VW Corrado with a built-up 16V Scirocco engine and high PSI turbo. Anyway, after months of fabrication and basically killing himself over it, the thing actually runs --- and is putting out something like 300 whp. It's really pretty interesting (

Anyway, I say go for it. Nothing like having something truely unique.
