98_coupe_ex Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 well as the title says im looking to do an engine swap. So i need some help as i have never done one before. first off what would be the best engine to look for. i was thinking of going to a junkyard to look for dohc vtec civic that was damaged or totaled in the rear and ripping out the engine. but i have never taken an engine out but i do have a buddy that knows about it but he works long days so he would only be able to help out every once in awhile. thnks for any help given Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AccordHEART Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 You can go many ways. B16A, B18C, etc. A B16A2 would probably be easiest since it came in the Si's of that generation. As far as taking the engine out, just look for something here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AccordHEART Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Never done a swap personally. Just buy a good motor, And make sure you have all the right parts. Like mounts, axles, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH6TunerDaniel Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Buy a swap from Hmotors. I would reccommend a GSR swap personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
