Question about swap.

Ok and im asking for an open mind here. constructive critisism is good but no crap, please. right now i own my own little fc3s 86, shes getten old, you got to admit it already a classic soon to be an antique. I love the power, speed, and feel of the engine thow. I just cant get over the feeling of uncomfortableness i have twords piston engines. I cant afford the expensive suspension, breaks, muffler, (old parts that need replaced). anyway, Is it possible to fit a fc3s motor in a honda civic 94 hatchback engine bay. I like the size of them and you can make them into quite the pocket rocket with a different motor. I need some professional help (and no not in the head). Thanks guys

anything is possible it depends on how much money you are willing to spend.

the rotary motors are small, they probly will fit, i would worry about the tranny, civic=FWD Fc= RWD , that might be kind tough to get around

******' waste of time...
Those Honda motors run opposite to almost everything, so on top of everything else, you need to rig something to spin the 13B backwards or spin the transmission backwards.

I love the idea. Mount the engine in the rear, and use a VW transmission. There are bellhousing adapters available for the 13B. Relocate the Honda gas tank up front, and turn the original engine bay into the trunk.

And Ted, rigging two gears to reverse motion is elementary.
