Put the V8 in the Civic. Then take lots and lots and lots of pics. And a dyno slip of course. And win the award for holy sh¡t, how the hell did you do that!?

lol, my uncle just bought a kit for $300 that lets you bolt a 350 into a 82 RX-7. That mofo will shread tires, and it is way to fast for a daily driver....

All it is is the mounts and an adapter for the tranny...

If you wanna do a super cool old skool new skool JDM type swap, I think the RB26DETT will fit with a rwd Skyline transmission.

*edit* Yup, it fits.
