Lightbulb Need Help

I was wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of a quality shop to do a motor swap. I am wanting to swap an h22 into my 92 Prelude since some shops do specialize in different makes. Locations and numbers would be great to. thanks ahead of time.

I've never had any personal experience with WeGoFast, but I've talked to many people that have, and have heard nothing but good things about them.

Once we get my girlfriend a new car, I'm thinking about having them do a swap in her Civic and turn it into a race car.

Honda and "race car" should NOT be in the same sentence.

Why not?

Hondas are cheap to modify. Yeah, I know they get a bad rap. But with relatively little money and work, you can make a Civic hatchback into a pretty quick car. No, it will probably never run 9's in the quarter, but that's fine with me. It's just something to tinker with. And if I mess something up or break something, it's not my primary car, so it's not a big deal if it has to sit a while.

Plus, I already have the car, so no money to put out there.

You could put that money into something a bit better... you know... that camaro that is still longing to be restored. Unless.. you got rid of it.. did you?

It's been done for three or four years now.

No, you had a 2nd one you were restoring too didn't you? I'm thinking it was a year earlier than the ss.
