why not put it into the honda? its not as hard as people make it out to be. hardest part of it all is setting up the rear end. pushing the firewall back and tunnelling the center is easy (for mechanically inclined people anyways)

you've got more room than a CRX, and i know for a fact an old school sbc fits in there with just a few inches of firewall pushed back. but the benefit of your's is the length. your not exactly stuck having to run an IRS because of a changing pinion angle and a very short driveshaft.
