You have to build it yourself, there's no such kit available. A well executed swap should cost around 10k pounds if you can do most of the work yourself.

A Honda k20? you do know that's from a civic right? or a RB25/6 that's two completely different setups.

As you in the uk. I might be worth looking at Dynotorque, they're responsible for 90% of LS1 V8 swaps in FD's in the uk.

Might be worth checking them out. I'm sure they could sort something out.

best thing is to get another car--or learn how to use and appreciate the one you have.
swaps on this car will not happen easily.

I had a similar problem once, not with my RX8 but I was doing a half-marathon for charity and I wanted to get a good time only I'm not the lightest of gentlemen and don't run that fast. I decided I'd swap my running shoes for a pair of specially adapted battery-powered belt sanders.


The result was somewhat unexpected but after months of reconstructive ankle surgery and physical therapy and can now walk again, I can't go through the power-tool section of a DIY shop without wincing though.

:D
