You need
1: a Torch or a plasma cutter
2: a measuring tape
3: a welder
4: Lot of patience(patience can be subsituted with beer!)
5: A lot of Balls to hack up a good car and a good motor with the possibilty of never competely the project!

Why make a front wheel drive car that costs way too much money handles like ---- and has the power of a low boost d series ???

270 hp j series motors have the same power as a low boost d ??? that 3.2 would be sweet if you could get it in a civic

now your back to the power of a low boost d series. You see my point. I guess it would be cool to say, I have a civic with a v6. No I tried it I was wrong it felt gay. :P

rofl, yeah i admit the gayness of the v6 civic

the motor i have seen used is the 3.2 with the rwd trans out of the 91 - 95 acura legend. i actually heard that the handling wasnt bad, but like i said, "i heard" i do not know for sure.

so you want to use a tranny designed for rwd, on a fwd car in a fwd configuration. is that what your saying? if that is what you're saying you might want to first try the swap into those little toy ricer cars and see how that goes first.

Re:V6 swap
 
its not a gay idea...

if you're going to put a v engine in it why a v6, and further more why a honda v6.

4.3l vortec v6s are great engines and cheap too. way cheaper to get a engine/tranny from that than some honda v6

I would think that going rear wheel drive would work out better. I would not start with that engine or trans but if you had to have a v6 then rwd would pw3n.
