Engine swap question

Hello,
Would a 1.5L 16V engine from a 94 Civic be a direct swap to a 91 Civic DX? (the 91's TBI would be kept - Only the shortblock would be swapped).
Thank you.
Mikel

RE: Engine swap question

why do you want that swap, are you looking for a replacement motor? or more performance?

what is the casting on the block? if it is a D-series, than yes. just the short block, right?

The mounts aren't the same, and I neither are the blocks. It might bolt up, but it won't just drop back in the car unless you can transfer all the mounting hardware (check the bolt patterns on the two blocks).

RE: Engine swap question

According to this link, it seems that the 94 engine is a D15B7 and my 91's is a D15B2. Can the block/head/rotating ***'y be that different?
Thanks,
Mikel
