Will a J Series Fit into a 1986 Civic?
By Brian Gillespie and Aaron Gaghagen

We have a lot of engines sitting at the shop and we have a lot of cars that have no engines in them. You know what that means. It’s time for YouTube’s favorite Honda engine swap game show, WHEEL OF SWAPS! Today’s contestant is Honda’s J series. As you may know the J series is Honda’s biggest engine with six cylinders of VTEC fury. Sounds awesome, but what car would it totally kick ass in? We spin the wheel to pick a car and try it out. The car today is a 1986 Civic Si hatchback. It’s a killer retro ride, but will it be able to take a J swap? Time to find out!
