Default K20 1g Teg?

John, I've always loved 1g Tegs since I had one in high school, but they were painfully slow. Do you think its possible to perform this swap, and if so, what are some of the obstacles you'd have to overcome? I'm considering doing this sometime next year and would really like to know what I'd be getting into. The platform would be a 1989 Integra and a ground up restoration. Thanks!

Well, job depending, I'm planning on it. Always wanted to, now I pretty much have the means to do so. Naturally, I only want the best to complete this transformation

I will go out on a limb and say, Yes we will be able to do it. Its just a matter of exactly how much modification there will have to be done. Ill let John chime in with more thoughts.

On another web board, there is a post concerning a K20 swap into a 3rd gen Civic...Nearly the same as a 1st gen 'Teg.
One of the primary concerns was the tallness of the motor, specifically while using a stock hood. The requirement was a near stock ride height to have sufficent ground clearance. The build took place in Austrailia.
So it is possible...lets see it
