so because the weather is crap i am limited to the interwebs and tv. So i am stuck between qualifying and surfing, there is a thread on Honda Karma about swapping a K into chavics.

Nothing new there i hear you say we have even had a Kswapped lude!!!

but these guys are mating them to B series gearboxes, i didnt think that could work? we had this discussion over the H22 and a 6speed box ?

anyway discuss

Only logic behind that which I can think of is to remove the need for k swap driveshafts/gearbox mounts/gear linkages etc.

Unless there's something to do with gear ratios and the older chavics being lighter so longer/shorter gears may suit betterer?

you missed the point a bit The K is a clockwise engine and the H/B/D/F are all anti clockwise it cant really be as simple as turning the engine round :lol:

Duh...I knew that really :-P I can't even begin to think about how to resolve that. Do you reverse the direction of the engine (if that's possible) or do you reverse the direction of the gears in the gearbox (again, if that's possible)?
