Ok, my civic is dying...i wanna keep it cuz i just love the little guy....need to do an engine swap, i'd LIKE to put something in it that has a little more power stock, but i'm kind of a newb and i want something that will bolt right in...anybody out there know what will fit??? thanks for the help!

 

What do you mean by dying? How much money do you have? You could rebuild the engine you currently have, this will be as much as installing a new engine but will allow you to run more HP b/c the engine will be stronger than something you would swap in. Rebuilt engines are like brand new engine.

 

im assuming its carburated? if so it will be a bitch to swap in anything. but if not, a D16A1 out of a 1st gen prelude will fit quite nicely. drop in except one mount is different...dont remember which one.

 

dying...ok, little over dramatic....head gasket is going bye bye.....also, may or may not have a bad heating core/radiator...not sure since i havent had the chance to yank it all apart...i know for sure that the blower motor is dead, but i think the problem may extend beyond that...anyway....so by a rebuild kit, we're talking like all new gaskets, rings, berrings??? that would be a better way to go?? also, i hate all the darn vaccum lines, so i was thinking or swapping in something fuel injected......but i spose that makes it much harder with more stuff to replace yes?? sorry aboot the newb questions.....thanks for the assist!
