1990 accord swap help
ok i have this 1990 accord ex manual and the stock motor crap out on me the other day, so i've been searching and found a guy parting a 97 accord SE auto, he's willing to sell the complete motor with everything accept tranny for 300, so that sound like a pretty good deal to me considering that it only has 103k on it. my question is what will i need to make this fit and run in my 1990 accord?

don't get the auto motor. the motor mount bracket and mountings are different for auto's and manual. just pick up another f22 from 90-93,, manual.

Re: 1990 accord swap help
or you can swap the motor with that one and retain manual trans and just get the computer you need....as far as fitment.....a motor number would help(f22b1 f22b,etc) but its more of less the driver side motor mount from that motor and modification to the front mount(minor)....and use the I/M from the motor thats in your car now....goodluck.....in the FAQ i did a full dohc f22b swap.....most of it would apply to what your looking to do.....def a swap worth doin as it should only take 15-20 hours(if this is ur first swap)....takes me about 12 usually...and as to jhondayang....he clearly stated the motor doesnt include trans so he can use his old trans which would allow it to fit...and the trans fabrication isnt that hard anyway

Re: 1990 accord swap help
I have a 91 accord EX F22A4 engine with a H23 Intake Manifold, Bisimoto Intake Manifold gasket, Ebay headers w/ Paceheader plage welded on, new Bisimoto head gasket not installed, new felpro oil pan gasket not installed, new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, new thermostat, and engine has never been over heated. Let it go very cheap with all items mentioned above. Its a USDM original Miles 315,xxx, does not smoke, or knock, still running strong. I have some pics on CB7tuner > thread: out w/ F22A4 in w/ H22A. Let me know if interested I will let the complete engine go for $300.00 includes ECU, EWH, all sensors, no motor mounts.
