    kart or crate?

    anyways
    that don't make sense... they would have to make custom motor mounts if the motor isn't a honda motor... that means if you are going to stick in a stock honda motor you will have to redo all the mounts.

    well all i was told when i got the car from her was that the engin was a crate and that is was not a honda engin but that it fit with the same mounts and everything. but if that is the cass im willing to pay for the mounts. as far as the pics. im working on that now. and is it possible for me to even stik a b18 engin in it remeber the car runs off of a carb engin or is there a way from me to revert it over to fule injected.

    you need to change the fuel lines and the fuel pump and i think the fuel tank as well.

    then you need the ecu and wires
    axles, tranny, shift cable or some hydrolic clitch conversion if the engine you get uses that instead.


    i dunno there is a lot of work involed in putting anything but the a20 and the jdm b20 in.

    I think there is mounts you can buy from place racing that let you stick in a b16
