Legend 2.7l

[rocketrobby]

hey everyone I'm new to the forum, lots of cool info
any body know where the post about the legend v6 in a civic is? I have an 89 civic HB and I've been wondering if I could put a legend V6 and tranny in it that I have sitting in my garage?

im sure that u can do it, but its gonna take a lot of time and money and fab work just to get it going. its would basically be a huge pain in the ass. cool, but a mother fucker to do

this would be the correct place to post this question. :roll: @ bo. I've never seen this swap, heard about it. I assume you could but it wouldnt be a drop in and go

i think i saw a civic on ebay a while back that had this swap, and was boosted. engine bay was tighter than balls.

Thanx for the replies. I am new to the import cars, but I have done several motor swaps on domestic trucks mostly blazers and s-10(V8) that type of thing. Here is my next question, I have access to a machine shop so if the overall dimensions (motor to engine bay) work I can make up brackets, mounts etc. what I need to know is how interchangable are the cv's,spindles calipers and steering from Acura to Honda?

[simplegreen]

it depends on the type of motor/trans to the wheel base of the car. the lengend axles i can imagine are a bit longer than a stock 89 hatch which is one of the smallest honda's ever. most likely you'll have to get custom ones

[rocketrobby]

would the axles be the same number of splines?

wow, now that i dont know. i dont know that much about the old legends
