ive got this crazy idea to try to put my totaled srt-4 motor into my 02 civic ex coupe.. im thinking the motor will fit in the bay but how many more mods and what trouble it would be?? Ive got about 5k to play with well and if anyone wants the civic motor its all stock...
the srt-4 motor however was my baby nothing is wrong with it about 8 1/2k done to the car which is now totaled except for the engine tranny and stuff
be nice

Well thats a first. Nobody knows dude, you are/would be the first to try. We can't tell you what to expect except that pretty much nothing will line up like it should. Goodluck regardless.
but making a dodge computer talk with the honda ABS, fuel system, etc.... won't be a cake walk.
In all honesty, just looking at the way the SRT4 motor is mounted, I'd say it'll take way more than 5 grand, and you'd be better off selling that motor to someone with a Peeon and buying a K-series for the civic.
Mounting it, the shift linkage, all the hoses and wires, the tons of gas it needs, etc.... its just not economically worth it.
Sorry to say but $5000 won't come close to covering costs. Most parts would have to be fabricated and countless hours would be spent wiring it up. Anything can be done with money of course, but you'll need lots of it. I can see a project like this easily running into the 5-digits.
I k-series would be much easier to swap and could out do the SRT-4 motor if built right, especially the K24. People are running stock K24 with stock K20 head and making over 400 whp. With 5k you could prolly put together a nice swap and have left to spend if you do alot of work yourself.
i say sell the srt-4 engine to a dodge guy, use the the 6-9,000 on a built/turboed k series swap and chances are you will have one of the fastest civics in town, especially in my town.
I need fuel management
