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

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.

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.
