I have a chance to get a acura integra. not sure what year, i think a 91. it ahs a b18a1 in it. the car was t-boned but the motor is good. its got 160,000 miles on it. the price is 200.00. is it a lot of work and money to put that in my 91 hb?
i want to pick it up dur to the motor, but im stuck on the amount of work. please help.

Is it $200 for the whole swap? I don't know how much power a B18A1 makes, but $200 for a motor sounds pretty good (unless its the unmoddable B20 lude engine). You could rebuild the motor and swap it yourself, learning a **** load in the process.

I say get it. The LS is only 140HP but for another few hundred you can do the dual cam equivalent to a mini-me, the Frankenstein and get 170+. You will need new mounts though, but they shouldn't be much if you get the knock-offs.
