Honda engines being stolen
Unbelievable. Someone in the cleveland area has ripped out 20 engines in 3 months time 
I guess it's the massive racing scene over here. I can't even find a shop to install some springs for me.

I'd think they'd be "repair motors" where someone blew up their old motors and these motors was stolen was to repair the cars that was blown up. If you know about pulling a motor out of a car like sitting in a parking lot. It takes awhile to pull a motor "correctly" I'd say atleast 4-5 hours to get a motor out without hacking the crap out of stuff

That crap has been going on for years over here in NY. I know a guy that does motor swaps for people. He always tells people that he doesnt want to know where it came from, but if the vins match up to a friends stolen motor or anyone he knwo, that he would take the motor and if the person flips out he calls the cops.

A friend of mine had a custom turbo installed on his '00 civic si. He had some guys do it for him in their "garage". Granted they had all the tools they needed but it took 3 of them a little less than an hour to take the motor completely out of the car in perfect condition.

I'd be suprised if it took them an houri've um, "heard" of cars being stripped of suspension, interior and motor in less then 2 w/ 3 guys

My g/f and I run a 89 Civic CRX si on autocross right now we got a replacement motor(pretty stock)(there's little things like DC sports CAI and Headers) but nothing too exciting. I was thinking about dropping a Type R motor into that but it's like 6 grand with tranny.(which I don't paying but it's still higher than a H22 motor) which you can get a H22 into a CRX but you snap CV joints like twigs
