      you would have to get the transmission to go with it, as they turn opposite to our engine

      plus. Why would you want a Honda engine with no torque when you could cwap in a Cadillac Catera V6 with just as much easy.

      domestic cars nuts like you wouldnt buy a chevy built in korea.. why should we care about them.

      if i was leaving the gm engine family, i would do a 1.8t awp swap with an o2m, 180 hp stock, easily built to any hp, and a 6 speed. All the work to swap it into many generations of cars has been done, and as much aftermarket support as honda without the smell of rice burning.
