I'm just wondering if there is a local place that can do the same coating swaintech does

car looks very good. If I get sick of working in my 13b Ill have to swap to this. Only thing I cant do is mod the subframe according to PRO AM rules. I would love to run a 2j in my FD.

Thanks man. Your FD is clean, and I like it even with the 13b. Unfortunately I don't think there's any way to get a 2j into an FD without modifying the subframe. They are definitely great motors.

Did you look into modding the oil pan at all. I wonder if there is room to mod the pan and not touch the subframe.

I thought about it initially, but the motor is just too tall. The oil pan is already very shallow at the front (where the steering rack sits) and I do not believe it is possible to gain enough clearance from the pan alone. You have to modify the subframe for the sump also.

You could just set the motor way up and have to run a gay looking hood. Isn't that what the other swap kits do for the 2JZ in the FD chassis haha. Glad you designed our swap subframes to allow using the stock hood

Just cut a hole in the hood like the V6 swaps in Civics. Just because it doesn't fit right you shouldn't be deterred from doing it.

Yeah, you're right. Damn the CG height, looks, and any notion of handling! I could have just cut a hole and made the swap 10x easier for myself, lol.
