transverse engine

[bolt99]

I have a friend who is selling me a J30A engine complete with transmission for 1500 dollar. Does any one know if it can fit in the chassis of Project 818

J30A? From a Honda?

No.

Why would anyone know this? The car isn't even out yet. Why would a transverse honda motor fit?

It won't fit right out of the box. However if he has any fabrication skills(or knows someone) then it could. Remember they are making a transverse diesel and ford motor option as well. So it definitely can fit with the right fabrication.

Yes. It will fit. You will need these...
