Do Want: Civic CRX w/ V8 Power

Anything is possible when it comes to engines to swap into a car. If it weren't a rolling death trap, I would really like to have one of these here:

Honda Civic CRX with a Chevrolet 355 cubic inch engine (claimed 450+ horsepower) built by an 18 year-old


Honda Civic CRX with Chevy 355 V8 Engine

Another V8 CRX from a slightly more professional-looking shop

Talk about a torque monster. I would actually prefer a more modern powerplant, with an all-aluminum (lightweitght) engine and sequential multiport fuel injection. And taaaaalll gears for highway cruising. Gear it right and you could, theoretically, GAIN fuel economy. Just make sure you keep the air conditioning!

Could you imagine the expression on the face of the rice burner in the next lane when he revs with a D15 and you roar back with your V8? Priceless.

Update: more details & pics on the first car, here.
