Well, i don't think motor swaps are for pussies, although i will say that in japan motorswaps and larger displacement swaps are not done very often. This project if it gets done will be impressive. Not all motor swaps add weight. Are you saying that when all is said and done your car will weigh the same as when you started?
Ultimately, as do the tuners in Japan, I prefer my cars balanced. Power is nothing without control.
Good luck.

well this aint japan so it doesnt do any good mentioning it. but bigger displacement motor like the tc will add weight. like being said if you took a honda hatch that came with a 1.5l motor and added a h22a perlude motor how will that not add weight hence why they change front brakes and front suspension off the car it came off of to compensate for the weight difference now if your swapping a smaller displacement motor like a 1.3 i agree it wouldnt add weight. thats like dropping in a 350 chevy motor but later upgrading to a 572 how will that not add weight. add yes motor swaps are for pussies because they cant build what the car came with so they have to add a bigger motor in order to compensate for there lack of ability. control you can still have control on a motor swap its called taking the front suspension off the original car and swap it out to the suspension that came off the car with the motor that your swaping in the balance will still be there thats how you obtain the balance back. yes car should weigh the same when im done all said and done its called trimming the body fat everything that is lighter will drop in weight there for compensate for some of the parts that arent lighter

^^Wow. Soo hostile. I think you missed all of what I'm trying to say. Thank you for also being very condescending and childish. In Japan, they like balance due to the fact that the 1/4 mile, 1420, drag racing is not popular there. Another reason why they don't do swaps. I don't know what i said to piss you off, but anytime you wanna race me, let me know.
But I only race legally, so you'll have to wait until July.
I'd love to see you handle 600whp against, well i'll pick something with less power. Maybe even just my yaris. I don't race in straight lines though.
