Default How to transport your B-Series when Hotrex flakes on you!

Find your daily driver...my drug of choice, my CL 2.3 Premium


Take out the passenger seat.


Find a parts car with a good engine and take it out with one big *** hoist...this thing is massive and old, but worked extremely well.


Pull the engine over dirt, uneven pavement and put it on the middle of a hill driveway.


Carefully stick the engine in the passenger side of the CL.


Drive to where the engine is being donated into and hook the engine back up to the hoist and back it out of the car.


When the engine is clear of the car, pull the car away...much easier than trying to move this thing on mudd


Clean up the engine with a steamer and degreaser and mount the massive turbo.


Jack up the car way in the air and try your best to slide this thing on a heavy *** steel plate under the car.


Finished for the day...in a couple of weeks I will be pulling this up from the bottom.


Thanks go to Hotrex for not calling me at all this week as we had planned to have him come down here with his truck. But there is some satisfaction in doing this ---- all by myself.

Cant wait to get back up and running...I took off the IM to port match it a little and smooth out the runners a touch and clean out the old gunk that was in there. I am using everything from my old setup and will be adding a Hondata intake manifold gasket and larger (2.5 Bar) MAP sensor

Hey, at least now you know you can fit an entire LS motor in the passenger side of a 2-door CL or Accord

I had to do the same thing with a D16 full swap in my 94 civic coupe. Good times.

Last time I checked, Hotrex has an integra, his mom has a saturn, and his brother has a civic. Where did he think the truck was gonna come from?

Damn, it seems you have something in common with the unibomber. He was building bombs in his hut though. lol.

I had to use the trap door in the rear seat and push it all the way thru...it was pretty handy how this hoist breaks down for easy storage/transport.

yeah I could see how it can break down, but even after that I could imagine it fitting in there.

NICE!

Also, why dont you show some more nude shot of that crx, it looks minty!
