but seriously, if you have to ask, dont bother. you'll get taken by a shop that saw you coming from a mile away.

 

^^^^^:rofl::rofl::rofl:

 

Drive in reverse

 

Yes it takes lots of fab from what i understand. There is a guy on HT that did it to his 4th gen lude. Let me try to find it for you.

In your case, I would seriously consider the disclaimer.

 

I used to know a guy that ran an Eclipse at the track with a 350 Chevy RWD... It was quick but not something you'd want to run on the streets. The guy raced without a hood because he would have had to chop it to damn near nothing just for the valve covers, carb, and air cleaner. He welded all kinds of extra supports in the car due to the unibody design (not designed to handle that extra weight) and had to do all kinds of fabrication just to get the whole thing set up. When I saw it at the track, it was all hollowed out and built like a home-grown drag car (basic metal dash, no speedo, etc). His exact words about the car (when I asked why he did it) was this; "Because no one else has!". It was, to put it simply, a disaster.
I guess if you had your own shop, welding/fabricating equipment, and a LOT of time, it might be something to do for a challenge
I can only say this:
If you want a RWD car, buy one and restore it. Have some fun with it. Go crazy and build 1000hp... whatever. FWD cars are great and are a ton of fun to play with, but leave them FWD. You're asking an apple to be an orange. Ask yourself this: if it is that great of a thing to do, why aren't people all over the place doing it? Leave mother nature alone

 

holly shit i like front wheel drive h22s just get a s2000 and save a lot of time.why would you put a Chevy engine in a honda thats like having sex with fish tank it doesn't make any sense.

 

My thoughts exactly. The older s2000 are kinda cheap now.

 

thanks for your opinion yeh im a jus leave it the way it is
