Adapters for the Fit Conversion
I may have the adapters that I used to install the Fit engines in Citations that were designed for the Kent and Pinto engines.
I was looking for something else today and ran across several of the Fit adapters I made for my cars, Citations. I even found a partially machined adapter for the Fit engine to mate to the Hewland MK 9 transmissions. The part is the same Fit/Hewland adapter that Honda sold when they were in the business.
I have several input shafts on the shelf and there might be one for a Staffs gear box.
New head is also an option

I have a spare short block and a spare complete motor. So you think my short block in the car is toast then? There is no compression at all at this point. I guess it would be smart to use one of the spares.
Btw what is required to get the pulley off the crank? Breaker bar not doing it.
Thanks
PS for the original poster you need a 2009 to 2012 FIt which is L15A7. Other years don’t work.
Instead of sending my head for a cleaning, I bought from Honda dealer, a head and 16 new valves and put that on. Maintenance after 8 years of regular racing. Very economical engine.

Was curious what a fit conversion cost in 2023 and are all the parts still available? I contacted fast forward and found they only do engine parts. It looks like HPD still makes the wiring harnesses for the conversion. What other parts are needed for the chassis? Are they still available?
What’s the typical cost of a fit rebuild and how many hours do you typically get on an engine?
Frank: You may want to speak with Jay Messenger in Texas about converting to a Honda. I know he has done this in the past and may be able to help you out with any questions you may have with the conversion... Good Luck
