Word to that. There are plenty of articles on here about doing tranny swaps and motor swaps. Find some friends that know about hondas and have them help you. I'd imagine it would take a solid week or two of dedicated work with several hands to do a full swap though. Do you have something else to drive in the meantime?

fix it up. it will give a great sense of pride knowing you fixed up your own car with your blood sweat and tears. you can learn alot too. PLUS it will be cheaper if you know what your doing and where to search for parts.

its cool bro, you gotta start somewhere. but its a y8 and z6 lol. they are d series vtec heads. a mini me swap is putting a vtec head on a non vetc block. its a cheap and easy way to get some decent power.
