    ill be honest that you are looking for WAY TOO MUCH money and work for that kind of swap.

    Older accord or any accord chassis is going to be a complete nightmare in terms of logistics not to mention weight. I mean what good is an NA motor in a 2700-3000 lb car. Might as well put a b16 in a CRV.

    Mini is cool ,but its been done alot an its not easy either.

    You are talking about HOURS AN HOURS of wiring, fabrication, engineering, etc.

    You have to ask yourself what you want. If a fun street car is what you are after, then there is a reason why guys do Civics, they are cheap, light , EASY to swap an wont break your wallet.

    Not if you're doing a swap into a 1st gen Civic. It's not as bad as some may think it is. Later, QD.
