I remember reading about it a while back, did the company do away with the idea or is it still floating around? I remember a lot of people were against it.

I believe it was Howell that was talkin bout it. For some reason though, most people bad mouthed it and were against it. They boasted that it could possibly handle up to 50 psi and have a displacement of 3.0L. For $1500, i'd hit it
thedawg- are you sure it's the same one? cuz howell and afx were talking about charging like 2400 for just the bare block which is why everybody was against it. and that site says it's for a v8 rwd transmission.

That ain't a drop in replacement
It's for purpose built race cars, as in... the ones with tubular chassis, etc. You wanna build a tube chassis eclipse, with 420a-ish aluminum block, there's your motor. Otherwise, it's just good engineering fun.
Seriously, I think the Honda phenomonon has affected peoples' heads. "Motor Swap" is not the legendary mythical path to all amount of engine horsepoweriness.
Besides, you guys aren't wussing out on building a RWD 2gnt are you? Cause the 4g63 guys have done it several times
