If they can put a 2JZ into an S2000, and an S2000 motor into a Civic, do you think that a 2JZ can fit into a Civic? :eek3:

Sure why not? I have driven a 350 powered Civic hatch once.

But that wouldn't even be fair.

It was fun though

But yeah you could fit one in. Probably have to hack the shit out of the firewall, build a frame and then figure out the transmission setup because either the driveline is going to be less than a foot (6 inches of actual driveline and rest is U-joints) or you are going to have to put in a shorter tranny than the Supra one.

I don't think it'd physically fit without surgery to the firewall. It's another 800cc's on the F20C and even with a slim radiator, probably not happening.

It'd have to be a tube frame haha

Umm...you can mount radiators in the back of the car, we do it all the time with rock buggies and it works fine with a pair of electric fans and some duct work it would be good to go. Plus you would gain another 8 inches or so to work with under the hood
