I ran a search, but did not find quite what i'm looking for.
My neighbor has an 88 Sterling 825s( basically a european acura legend) with a C25a1 2.5 v6. the car has 75,000 miles and has been extremly well maintained. He also has a 87 lxi hatchback parts car(wonder were i've gotten all the free stuff don't you) We were wondering if the V6 will physically fit in the 3 gee engine bay. No, we are not swap happy, the Sterling is wasted in the rear ,and rear passenger side door.
Now we are not expecting a "bolt in" swap, but the front of the Sterling is untouched, so we have the mounts, harness, ecm, trans, axles, hubs, etc.
We also have access to a certified welder, who is in to weird engine swaps(Lt1 in a pinto, 390 in a ranger), so fabbing adapters and plates is no big deal.
I rode in this car before it was wrecked, and it scooted along pretty well for a four door, so it should be pretty nasty in a light 3gee hatchback.
This car will be mainly used as a bracket race car, with some occasional excursions on the street. But we want to keep the body as stock looking as possible , for that "sleeper" look.
To referece, this is the same engine in an '86 or 87 legend, so it is a honda product, it least im keeping it asian
I know i'll get flamed for posting this, but like i said, the car will be mostly used for bracket racing, and very seldomly will be driven on the street( we live about 2 miles from Virginia Motorsports Park).
We were just wondering if anybody has tried to fit one of these engines in a 3 gee chassis
