What's up? I have the crazy idea to take a 92-95 bodystyle 2door civic and transplant a heads/cam Pontiac 3.8L supercharged engine with a 5speed rwd transmission out of a v6 camaro into it. The motor and transmission bolt up and I am thinking a GM 10-bolt rear will probably do the job of putting the 350+ horsepower to the ground. I also have the ECU, wiring harness, and everything else that's vital.
I've seen it done with an LS1 V8 motor but figure it'll be better with a supercharged V6, since the engine is shorter in length. There'll most likely be a bit of cutting and welding involved but I've heard of people retaining their stock floor pans and not having to build a full tube chassis, which I don't really want. I'm looking to keep it street appearance and not looking to make it a drag car, just more of a toy.
Now the question is, which body would you suggest will be the best suited for the project, as far as the coupes? 92-95 or 96-00?
