Re: thinking of buyin an 84 civic hatchback.
first thing you'll have to do is convert it to fuel injection.. then a B series swap is pretty expensive, more so than an EF. parts are harder to come by and the suspension can be difficult to deal with if you don't know where to find the parts.
it's a lot of work and a lot of research, but most things can be done..

I would suggest to keep it running stock - Save 2-3k, find yourself a nice newer Honda that comes with the engine you want and BUY IT! =P
And always have a manual, the tools for the job and safety equipment(beer, loud rock-n-roll and naked women!).
