i know i may come off as being someone who doesnt know anything about cars and such when i ask this but im dead serious.........honestly is it really difficult to put say a 302 in a accord wagon? could the car handle it?....my grandpa builds drag cars and i told him that i wanted more power and he doesnt want me to get rid of the wagon and he wants to put a 302 in it.......what kind of problems would i have? or is it just way to much of a hassle?....im seriously considering it.

thanks

 

Why don't you try it and let us know

 

b/c i wanna know what u guys think

its not like im doing it myself im getting help from someone who has built motors and doing custom work to cars for most of his life.......

i just wanna know if there will be any kinda problems with the car itself

 

Well, there would probably need to be HELLA custom fab work on the mounts, axles (different tranny and everything), wiring, and a couple other things. If you've got the money/time, go for it. I think it'd be interesting to see. You could probably get a decent amount of power out of it too.

 

you'd have to change enough stuff to where it really wouldn't be an accord anymore...it would just be a domestic V8 with an accord costume on

 

but a big heavy ass V8 just doesn't seem like something i'd want in my accord...if u've got all the time/money/and know how, why not swap another more powerfull honda engine in it and just turbo that ho?

 

Paul Nueman has a Volvo wagon with a 5.0 shoved in it...I guess anything is doable.

Are you planning to make the wagon RWD? FWD would be kinda difficult and pointless since a Honda V6 and supercharger could be swapped in easier I would assume.

 

I'd put a H22 in there with a AWD tranny swap like the Braille ITR.

 

i wish my accord is all wheel drive
if u ever get that done it would reallly b interesting to see

 

v8 as a fwd? or are the wagons rwd? wouldnt u'd be spinning left and right with fwd?
