Ah yes... But it becomes a question of fixed cost vs marginal cost... When it costs the big end of 10 grand and change to shoehorn the b*tch in there in the first place, adding power to it becomes a less consequential expense.

There are a few engine swaps that are preferable to a J-series in literally every quantifiable way. So, my question stands; if you just have to have a honda v6 in there, just for the sake of having a honda v6 in there, why not pick one that will fit properly?
