Bottom line, no one does what you're referring to because of the time invested into a car of little value doesn't make for common sense. The car will be worth nothing. If money isn't a problem, I don't see why selling and parting out the cars and buying a nice auto civic (that meets or exceeds your expectations) of equivalent value doesn't make more sense.

You can drop that small block into the car as well, it's been done before. I've seen a lot of small block chevys dropped into the 6th gen chassis'.

Actually, you make some good points. I guess the primary reason is that I prefer to drive something that I know intimately. It's a little esoteric, but I like driving something on which I've turned almost every bolt. And I may totally rethink it, but for now, I'm weighing it out.

Donor sedan is a 93, recipient coupe is a 95. Both D15B7s.

I say buy a used automatic 95 coupe, and when you get it, tear the whole thing apart, then bolt the whole thing back together.

not ebay. ebay charges a lot of money to list something. that's especially a concern because these would be parts that you have a good chance of not selling right away on ebay.

list them on the forum classified section, craigslist, and on honda-tech's classified section.

the better you make your listing, the more likely you are to sell stuff.

List the year, exterior color, interior color, number of doors, engine, transmission, and any modifications (if it has any). Then say you're parting it out. (or whatever you're doing).
