how does this sound

some guy the other day was talking to me about doin an s2k swap in my car with the tranny in all...but wouldnt that be a large amount of money invested to make it rwd and so on? and does anyone know of and cb7 doin a full s2k swap and would it even be possible at all or is it just stupid to think of?

[93 cb7 ex]

who's the guy?.........do me a favor and slap him

[91f22a4philly]

the funny thing about it is that he works at advance auto parts...so thats just a shame ill just be more careful who to listen to regardless of where they work! lol

[WilliamW]

agreed ^^

let the S2K guy go ahead and do it. then kick his ass with a turbo H22 swap, or even the F22B swap. There are much better ways to go about your CB7 powerplant.

I think I'd shed a tear the day I saw someone drifting a cb7.

ya search around here before you take someone elses automotive adivice on what to do to your cb7.

u dnt hav to drift it...stock that motor puts out 240 thats more then the h and the k20

[Caution]

i think that guy at the auto store was just high, he musta been on some dope azz somthing...but it aint worth it, beside, you would have to cut your dam fire wall into the passenger compartment just to make the dam tranny fix, you might as well go out and get a whole s2oo with the less hassle of the conversion...ne ways, auto parts store clerks are dumb sometimes....becarefule

thanks for the info

I've heard a rumor of someone in AZ with a RWD CB9...

It's possible, but the amount of work would be insane. You're probably looking at damn near the cost of an S2k, if not more, to have it done for you. Unless you're an incredibly competant fabricator with about $10,000 at your disposal (the motor alone will cost you about $5000 unless you're lucky enough to find a cheap one) you won't be able to do it.

With money, anything can be done. However, this swap would require rearranging everything in the engine bay, making the front suspension stable without the drive axles (as they are a part of the structure to some extent), creating a tunnel for the driveshaft, relocating the gas tank to make room for the rear differential, getting custom axles, wiring everything... hell, I could go on and on, and I haven't even given it detailed thought!


So, can it be done? Yes. Can you do it? Probably not. If you have to ask on here about it, then you're most likely not capable of doing it yourself. Anyone with the ability would understand all that was involved. As for the Advance employee... just because they work in a car parts store doesn't mean they know a damn thing about cars. I've run across some of the most idiotic people at auto parts stores (last time I was at Autozone, I asked for a bolt to plug an o2 sensor bung... the dipshit lit up, said "I know exactly what you need!" and handed me a socket to install and remove an o2 sensor.)

i just wanted to c just to make sure i wasnt just going crazy i mean it would be nice but like u said tooooo much work involved thanx for the info and autozone guy is a dumbass

wouldn't it be more plausable (or in the least more affordable)to use the f20c engine as ff set up instead of converting the car to rwd?
