engine decision help
hey i totaled my civic a few days ago and im gonna get a shell of this guy for 500 after he takes his wheels exhaust and battery. its manual so what i wanna spend is like around 1500 max on engine i dont really wanna get into converting the computer harness and all that. but it had a y7 engine and tranny so can i toss a y8 tranny in and set the y7 engine from my totaled civic in there and be good to go? and the engine has 180k on it too so should i have it fixed up or what? i just want some advice not trying to break bank cause this has put me behind pretty badly

Re: engine decision help
it was 120 all the way around thats where it should be right
i just had the head completely redone before the accident but the bottom is 180k when i did the test for compression i held it for like 5 seconds each but it was like 120 in each

Re: engine decision help
What do you mean "held it for 5 seconds"?
Was it a warm or cold test?
