I had to laugh at this one, even more so seeing how worked up the guys on the Vette forums got. :D

One poster on the original source of this tidbit (Honda-tech.com) summed it pretty nicely when he wrote: “Thats like the worst of both world’s instead of the best.”
:rofl: So true though haha. Just needs a huge fartcan lol

This is old news, it's posted in the random pic thread a long time back. Also check the front motor mount sitting basically in the radiator.

Back when I first read about this, I remember reading that it was fake. Guy had his engine out to do some work, threw a Honda engine that he had laying around in just as a goof. Something like that

hahah yah definitely a practical joke. The tranny/diff in the back would probable weigh more than the little B18 up front :rofl:

The Funny thing is with that engine it probably weighs 3000lbs or so.

Hell a K20 in that thing would rock. It would be slightly heavier than an S2000 lol.

Hell, throw a rotary in there. Do an LS RX7 in reverse.
