    Hey all,

    I might be able to wrench on stuff just fine, but I've been wanting to do an engine swap for a long time, and got to thinking about using a Honda V4 as a candidate. Granted I don't have a roller for this project yet, but I've got ideas. Just wanted to see if anyone here had ever adapted any of these engines into a car at all.

    For context, I've been looking at importing an old Kei car from Japan or maybe finding an NA Miata.

    You might find a 1200 engine/transmission easier, there's already shaft drive
