Ek?

It's honda nerd speak for

it's a chassis code.

either an ek or i find a nice gsr..found a nice one wit an h22 but will settle for an 18

eh, just get a GSR or LS then turbo the b18 assuming the miles aren't too high and the rings are okay. 300hp is plenty in one of those cars.

I had an ls motor boosted, it had great torque down low but a fully built b18c1 can put up some real good numbers.

b20b's can be had for pretty cheap, franky'd built an boosted they are mean. So are k24's with k20 heads.

My question is, why? That has to be the dumbest thing I have ever seen. Yes the guy did a good job on it but why waste your time? Why not do something with the Vette to make it faster instead of screwing around with that POS jap trap.

Because the Vette is totalled, the way the back end looks. It'd be a ****ing wicked sleeper if someone didn't notice the driver sitting back further than usual, or the sexy sound of an LS1. I'd rather see the LS1 go into an NSX, or an S2000, but meh.

Impressive work.

I do agree on the NSX. Should have had a V-8 to begin with. they were nice cars, but the engines were too small IMO.

Because A) This has cost him pretty much nothing, he had both the cars just sitting around collecting dust. B) It will have a great weight distro and C) a civic is not a 'dumpy' car, no matter what ca.com has told you.

I Would take it to the honda dealership to get the spark plugs changed just so i could look at the peoples faces.

The V6 was quite appropriate for the cars time. Was plenty of motivation for a late 80's early 90's vehicle.
