took out the front seat and put the motor there, much better than spending $75 for gas for the truck lol

then we hit a red light while we were trying to turn right, we were sitting in a 2 foot puddle, exhaust was completely under water

then it started leaking in, had about an inch of water inside lol

How did you fit the motor through the door of a 4-door Civic?

NXRacer

its w/out a tranny and exhaust manifold, so it was pretty small. and there was no front seat.
