I was thinking either a turboed 4.6 or 5.0 in a honda crx.

This is what i was looking at for HP/torque:

I was looking at building it over a couple years and was wondering what you guys thought?

I want a v8 in the lightest possible car. If you could give me other suggestions for engines/cars tht would be awesome.

LS swap miata.

FWD -> RWD conversions take a lot of custom fab work. If thats your thing go for it, if not i would stay away from it.

i want rwd

CRX is fwd

well i know tht instead of doin a conversion what cars would be similar weight and rwd

just find a 80s model short wide and throw that engine in it and call it a day

i like tht suggestion

if you think that a crx is RWD, dont know what cars are available out there that is RWD and light, clearly you dont know what the fuck your doing trying to make a "project" car.
