Not sure if it’s appropriate or not since it’s not my car but I found this on the YouTube’s today. Pretty interesting

That is a clean install and coupled with Honda engineering a nice package.

Pretty nice engine swap.
That said, JT didn't explain how he reverses the car out of the shop/parking spaces. After all, it has 5 forward gears but no reverse.

I think some Goldwings actually have a reverse gear because they're so big and heavy.

A lot of work for 100-120hp.

A 2110 will drop in, not radiator, no modifications and can easily produce over 120hp.

Just because you can.....

Just because you can..... This ^^^^ and you can't spin up a heavy enough flywheel to make it drive-able. Watch his video as he uses a lot of clutch to get going and only hooks when he gets moving.

Not the only time a motorcycle engine was installed.

My Moto Guzzi motor would be my choice, dry clutch and inline configuration. The H.P. is more than stock, 65 at 6700 r.p.m.

My favorite... Porsche 4 Cam
