Well when I look at my 92 service manual all I get for camshaft lift is intake and exhaust.

Now explain how we have 3 different intake lobes and how they are controlled.

man, this guy isn't here to take a quiz on how things work, but the fact that he got things to work. he took a chance (a very well planned chance) but he took it, and i respect that and look up to these sort of things.

good show

Nice write up!!! i love it...oh the possibilities. You accomplished basically what the guys in Civic land dream of.

almost like a B20/VTEC swap into a CRX (for those suburban wannabe racers out there!) more than just an engine swap, an engine swap with Hybrid technology...jive props.

nice to know the problems but C...what exactly was the isue with the intake manifold...were the seats where the manifold not wide enough? and you say you cut into it but im so confused as to where you cut it that is makes no sense to me

hook a confused brutha up!

From now on, I (or we) will refer DV8 as "Dr. Legendstein" for he, is the mad scientist within legends community.

*Dv8* · 09-25-03, 05:28 PM

Custom mount i made to fit the RL block to the Legends Front mount.

3.5 block set in.

way Different than the Legends inner manifold-way cool

Note the weld on the end of each runner and the sloted bolt holes.

The intake manifold water channel welded in two spots to make it longer.

3.5 Legend

C35A block code

3.5 engine and tranny together for verification

The 1 out of 6 bolt that didnt line up connecting the type I tranny to the 3.5 block.
