    The engine in that car weighs 150lbs wet and the car already seems tail heavy. Every swap I have seen or seen mentioned would ruin the car.

    My dream swap would be a Porsche 5 speed and a G13b+boost

    Just boost the snot out of what is in there. MS + 10 pounds of Boost = 50mpg in town and enough power to scare passengers.

    850 engines run CCW, you would need any early Honda motor for that swap.
