And I suppose your 5.0 engine is going to bolt up to your Dseries transmission and you'll just go from there right?

Yeah, lol. Do you even know how FWD and RWD driveline works?

You know whats really funny. Scroll down to the picture of the guy in the welding hood, and its a cheap knock-off hood, and the welds look like CRAP!!! Seriously, they might hold up a four year old banging on them, but thats about it. He is welding it together with a hotbox!!! LOL That thing is gonna fall apart.

There is only 1 reason to swap a V8 into a honda. Promotion. If you own some sick shop and want a project car to promote it. If you want the daily driving capabilities of a V8, buy a car that comes with one. What the hell are you thinking? You have to ask all these stupid questions, its quite obvious you have 0 mech knowledge. Please buy something other than a honda, or learn the limitations.

Those are plates for his fender... he had to widen the body to fit the wheels. It has nothing at all to do the frame or structural integrity of the car.

it's just a toy, the guy has got the money, and if the welds don't last, then he'll probably just take his lotus out for a spin instead.
