2k2 hatchback engine in 2k2 civic coupe...???

The engine bay on the new 2k2 civic hatchback looks pretty small, almost smaller than our engine bays from the pics i've seen. I would like to see someone attempt the engine swap because it DOES look possible...

I think I heard somewhere that it's not possible because of the way it's oriented. It's been discussed many times before. However I wonder if a Type S engine could be swapped into the new Civic Si.

Yes, the new si engine is basically the same as the base rsx. No one has done a swap to the new k20 motor. Htown tried putting an rsx-s motor, but the shop didn't want to do it.

Next time, please do a search. There are at least one of the swap questions everyday. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
