How so?

I can't see it being justifiable to put in an engine that is intended for a fairly heavy FWD vehicle into a very light vehicle. Once you add up the total time spent on the project plus costs.. you would be better off swapping a buit B18 into the thing and produce high HP numbers with low torque.. exactly what these light hondas need.

If you showed me a S2000 swap into a 240 or a Supra Swap into a 240 or whatever outragous RWD combination you can think of and I would consider it an achievement.

Name the good a SRT4 motor has the second you have to pay to buy the swap? Potential? Has the same potential other built motors have... Factory Warranty? Thats the reason why people love these motors.. stage 2 and you still have factory warranty.. not on a swap..

Seriously, I would fine it embarrassing to own a vehicle that is not a chrysler that has a chrysler swap in it (Except an old school hemi).
