K series in a Civic?????
I was talking to a guy in Slidell LA yesterday and he was saying that the company he works for was the first in the U.S. to manfacture engine mounts and harness for a K series in a Civic...WTF????? A K series????? True or not? Hybrid-Racing is the name of the place...anybody ever heard of them?

K motors have been swapped into Civics, Integras, and CRXes for months upon months already. There's posts/pics/threads all over the place.

My buddy Rob has put a K20 into a EG hatch and we are currently working on a K20 into a 00 Civic EX.
He is currently designing the first hybrid radiator made only for the swap. You can use a stock radiator but its a bitch. You might remember him, he was the host of 'Hi-Rev Tuners' on Speedvision.
Check out his shop's site at http://www.fullblownracing.com

They do really good work over there. I have been by the shop several times and have seen their work. I also have the pleasure of redoing their website. It should be up sometime in july. There will be videos and a complete set of install pics that you can download. They also are one of the only two companies that I know of that make the custom motor mounts for the k series motors.

I've seen this swap but I honestly don't know what the point is...to be different??? Any "B" swap would be better, cheaper, faster. I have yet to see a "k" engine impress me. They are a pain in the ass to work on, chain drive sucks, etc...
