The Acura Integra has always been a favorite among those looking for an affordable and zippy coupe that can be easily improved with aftermarket bits that are available in plentiful numbers on the market.
However, one owner moved from the traditional type of tuning to a more extreme solution that involved an engine swap, but not of the sort you would expect, as he replaced the standard four-cylinder unit with a massive 396 cubic inch (6.5-liter) Chevrolet Big Block V8.

The owner has put the car up for sale on eBay, with the highest bid being $19,000 at the time we posted this article. More pictures and the seller’s description of the car follow below.
