just weld up the new engine and gearbox mounts to suit

rewire the computer electrics to run the honda motor
fuel pump and efi running gear to suit

if using a ford manual gearbox an adaptor plate/shim for the bell housing
check the splines on the CV joints for length and the brake rotor choice

you will need a brake upgrade

gearbox shifting cables

bit of pipeing for exhaust then a machinery certificate

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_F20C_engine

just read this bit

It is the only Honda 4-cylinder engine that is designed to sit longitudinally for rear wheel drive.

like to see this run east west and how you are going to run the coolant pipes

keep us posted on your project

Question

ok most of that is simple except the adaptor plate/shim is going to be a little hard but i should get it done with a little bit of trial and error, and the coolant pipes have got me just a little stumped so im doing a bit of research to find some photos of exactly where the coolant enters and exits the f20c. Does any1 no where i could purchase a 1way lsd for the f2t gearbox? thanks for the help guys

you could fit a 12 volt water pump some are very good

use mdf / ply wood or card board for shim work material
then use aluminium as end product

if running east west choose one of the
hondas front wheel drive 5 speed manual g/boxs

great idea with the water pump as this would give the added benifit of slightly better power and throttle response as i wouldnt have to use the belt driven pump any more and do you think a 1999 intergra type r gearbox be suitable?
