has anyone seen the AEM boneville salt flat racer the ex with the b16 swapped into it? I saw it so i know the swap is possible, what i dont know is how or where to find parts to do it. I know the k20 swap is easier but i really dont have 10 grand to blow on a swap.
Does anyone have info on the swap?

i also heard it was illegal being pushed as an issue but arent all motor swap for the most part.

It's illegal because you're putting an older engine into a newer chassis.

You're going to have a more fun time with the K20.

More displacement, more torque, better power and torque curves. It's just going to cost more.

DO THA K20!!!!! Especially since u have 10 grand. More bang for the buck over the smaller b16 also mostly custom.

Is it illegal.. yes... does anyone care? only if you live in CA.

I had an 89-92 engine in my 95 civic.I passed smog with ZERO issues.

Maryland's law says that it's illegal. Does anyone care? no.

unless of course you live in CA.....
