dcletten Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 no the b20 motor will not bolt to d-series trans, first off, what model civic are you workin with? cx? dx? lx? ex? si? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristin Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Maybe it's because of where I live... B20 parts are hard to find and are more expensive. B16's and B18's are easier and more affordable. Considering, they're just about in every junkyard here. -shrugs- It's a matter of taste and opinion, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcletten Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 um b20 = crv motor........not common what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristin Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 um b20 = crv motor........not common what? B20's aren't common here... to find for a motor swap. Sure, I see plenty of people driving CRV's. Like I said, they just aren't as common for a motor swap as a B16 or B18. Here, you can't find a lot of them for sale or in junkyards. By "here" I mean Memphis, Tn.
