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.

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
