I put this question in the Engine and internal section, but didn't get many hits, and no responses. Sorry for double posting, but maybe more people will see it here.
I have an 86 CRX Si and the motor and trans are very tired (216K, grinding shifts, and some blue smoke). So I saw a 90 civic wagon with a good motor and busted up body for $300.
Question: Can I swap the D15B2 from the 90 into my 86 in place of the EW4? What problems might I encounter, like motor mounts lining up, etc. Is the D15B2 an OK motor for this swap? It's the same size and similar numbers, but I really like the speed and 40MPG I get currently with the EW4. Will the CRX still perform OK with the D15? Thanks in advance.
