v8 accord ...thats sweet

[almostJDM]

Does anyone know if it even goes down the road and its not just a 350 sitting in the engine bay running?

no, but he said cars with 30+k in engine mods cant keep up...lol, I don't call BS on that its actually in the car running, but total BS flag going up on everything else, until he shows a legit 1/4 mile pass, of less then 9 seconds

[Warudakumi]

Just so you know....

[/QUOTE]

why the hell would you put those wheels on that car. That shit looks retarded as fuck.

That "retarded" look happens to be a retarded jdm look. Those wheels happen to be JDM Veilside Andrew Racing F rims and not your average ugly chrome VIP rims u see on beatup impalas.

Guy's bat shit crazy, potential to be stupid fast yes but is it? i highly doubt it.

Thats about my opinion on it. Props to the guy for doing it and taking notion to do it in a CB. But from reading about him and the car I imagine its quick, but not blow the doors of Corvettes fast.


Why would it be faster than a 2800lb fox body with a lightly built 302? I don't hear it loping its ass off or anything. Sounds like my old Ford pickup with open headers.

[deevergote]

Right. A fox body weighs about as much as a CB7, and that's with the V8 already in place. Putting a V8 into a CB7 would likely result in a car heavier than a fox body mustang. The chassis would be less rigid, as the CB chassis was never built to withstand the torque of RWD (it may very well twist the car in half.) Strengthening the chassis to withstand the torque of a V8 driving the rear wheels will likely increase the weight considerably.

Can it be fast? Absolutely. Will a 92 Accord with a stock 92 5.0 be faster than a 92 Mustang with that same 5.0? It's doubtful.

It's really cool to see, and I've never seen one actually drive (so I'd really like to see more of this one.)



Also, those Veilside rims are on that car ONLY because they're "uber JDM"... not because they actually look good. When you want your Japanese sports coupe to be fast, and you swap in a V8 to make it so... WHY put on some oversized chrome wheels with an incorrect offset on the car? Either pimp it out, or make it fast.
I mean, seriously... that's like wearing a $900 pair of dress shoes to go play basketball.

While we are on the subject of old fox body mustangs and twisting frames, the hatchback Mustang will twist the chassis also with a lot of power and hooking up real good (slicks). The notchback on the other hand is not notorious for it like the hatchback is. My friend has two older Mustangs and that is something I picked up while hanging around the Mustang crowd.

[SOHC-FTW]

Sub frame connectors will solve most unwanted twist on a fox.

SBC has always had more power it's just GM uses pigs, look at the differences between both 3rd gen stang an fbody. GM was a good bit higher in HP/TQ especially when TPI came along and suspension was far better than fords contender but the fox (Around 3000-3350lbs) was lighter by along shot as a GTA fully equipped is tumbling over 3700lbs.

My legend makes more power than 80's to mid 90's small blocks. Coming from owning both F bodies and fox bodies, in stock form both chassis are 14-15 sec car yet my fwd would dog em both stock for stock. If that CB aint a low 13sec car he needs to stick with 4cylinders, but it aint no 9sec car.

[2winRB25]

12.76 @ 119 mph in my S14. That is the fastest I have ever ran in a car and the fastest car I have ever owned.

My 600RR runs 10s and its stock. 10.43 @ 133.35 to be exact.

[deevergote]

The fastest I've ever gone on a track was 15.123... (H22-swapped CB7, slipping clutch, bald tires, closed IABs, bad driving, and 230lbs of fatass me a the time.)

My fastest car is capable of low 13s, and will probably never see a track. 06 CTS-V sitting in my driveway now.

[2winRB25]

In my CB I made 5 runs earlier this year. Slowest was 17.1 and the fastest was 16.6. Completely stock other than open manifold. Pipe was rusted and the cat part broke from the down pipe part. So I just removed the rest of the exhaust.

lol!

strange swap btw.. a v8 in a jap car?

i saw this meme yesterday. american motor in jap car...meh

but jap motor in american car.

just imagine a 1jz in a ford fiesta.. lmao

I'm sure it's out there somewhere! With 7 billion people in the world, you never know what you'll find.

It's cool on it's own merits, but I fail to see the point other than just to say "yeah I did it". It's pointless, but hot rodding can be about "pointless" and "ridiculous" swaps just cause. It's cool for that. Wouldn't be caught dead in it though. I'd like to see a rwd converted, lsx powered Honda car that looks like a Honda still. Is it possible to be a "sleeper" at that point?
