Hey everyone. Well, im am a complete newbie to the Civic scene. My first car was a 1982 civic 4 door hatchback and i now have baughten a similar car. I am just finishing my 1984 RX7 with a V8 conversion and now i want to do a swap(honda engine of course) into my lil 82'. Now i was thinking like maybe a prelude engine out of a 93+...what are your thoughts?
Keep in mind, until today, i didnt even know that there were so many different model engines out there. B16a2, d16...blah blah blah. I need this engine to swap into my little car fairly easy. I dont want to hack it up and put like 10k into it. I just want that old tired carbed engine out of there and some new tech in its place.
So, what engines would make for the easier swap? can i put a 93+ prelude engine in there? I had a friend with a prelude that was putting out like 225hp with very minor mods. that would make one quick camaro eater out of my little 82.
Anyway, Take care guys.
