#102169 I plan on doing this to my Coupe, Getting one locally isn't going that well. Paying the price of the engine again for shipping isn't cool.

J32 Type-S Is an awesome engine. Especially when fitted into our light Civics.

I have been looking into this alot, I have not scene this swapped into a Hatch yet. However if it fits into a Coupe, it will fit into a hatch.

#102170 The only thing that I don't really like about it is that most of the ones I see they don't have hoods or they have huge cut outs where the motor sticks out. Only way that I would do it is if I could get the hood to close normal so it looked all stock

You can get it to fit with spacers on the back. Or so I have read.

#102248 Finding the engines is the easy part. They range from 3.0L to 3.7L. The difficult part is getting a manual tranny. The statistic I read is that only something like 8% of cars that came with a J engine were manual. You can pick up a long block from 200-1000 USD depending on which model you get. But the prices I've see for the tranny, manual wiring harness, and shift linkage is 2000+ since they are rare. For now I haven't seen anyone that has been able to get the Manual ECU to work correctly so everyone is using the auto ECU. I'm sure this will change in the next 6-12 months once Hondata gets involved. The whole setup fits nicely into the EG engine bay without any cutting other than new mounts. And it can work with a stock hood as long as you can fab up some sort of bubble in the right place to allow for the height difference.

My concern would be the weight difference. You'll need special suspension and huge brakes in the front to handle this much power/torque and weight.
