1980 civic and a20a1
I was wondering. I am getting a 1980 civic 2dr. with the 1.5L. I have a a20a1 short block and head out of my 1988 accord lx. will the intake manifold off of the 1.5 work on the a20a1 when I swap it in or will I have to get another a20a1 intake? and will I be able to put the 5spd out of that accord into the car when it is an automatic? Help me out man.

that would be a bastardized swap...first of all, I've never heard of anyone using accord engine components in a swap, and I'm pretty sure there is zero aftermarket support for A series engines. It sounds to me you'd have better luck swapping something into the accord.
What would be really awesome is if you were to put a powerful engine into that 80 civic...the ultimate sleeper. You'd have to talk to someone to fabricate you some mounts, shift linkage, etc. etc. your talking about a lot of money. |

swap
The reason I'm doing the swap is because the 1.5 and the 2spd. auto are anemic! the 1.5 pushes 68hp
